Full-time Support Staff Strike Ends with Tentative Agreement
Ontario colleges and full-time support staff have reached a tentative agreement, ending a five-week strike that impacted all 24 colleges across the province.
The breakthrough came after a private mediation session led by Mediator William Kaplan, resolving the bargaining impasse between the College Employer Council (CEC) and the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU).
- The deal affects about 10,000 striking employees who provide essential support to college operations and student success.
“Support staff play an important role in our colleges,” says Graham Lloyd, CEO of the CEC. “We are grateful to have them back to work.”
As part of the agreement with OPSEU, picketing at Ontario colleges will end immediately.
