As you may know, the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU), the union representing all part-time support staff at all 24 Ontario colleges, and the College Employer Council (CEC) have been involved in collective bargaining on a new contract.
As part of the process, OPSEU members participated in a strike mandate vote from October 14 to 17. Members voted in favour of a strike mandate.
The College Employer Council (CEC) and the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) bargaining team have agreed to three mediation dates with William Kaplan to reach a renewal agreement. Mediation occurs November 20 and December 12, 2025, as well as January 28, 2026.
There will be no labour action unless mediation fails.
All support staff are a valued and vital part of the Humber community and the Ontario college system.
