More than 10,000 full-time support workers from Ontario’s 24 public colleges are going on strike starting Thursday in an effort to ensure job security, says the union.
The College Employer Council (CEC) “walked away from the [negotiation] table” after failing to respond since 4 p.m. Wednesday, said the support staff bargaining team from the Ontario Public Service Employees’ Union (OPSEU).
