The union representing Ontario’s college faculty members has announced that it could initiate labor action as early as Thursday.
As of Saturday, the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) has been in a legal strike position, but is required to provide five days’ notice before proceeding with a strike.
OPSEU confirmed that it submitted the required notice on Friday.
Union officials said they will meet today or tomorrow with the College Employer Council, the bargaining representative for Ontario’s 24 public colleges, for non-binding mediation, and remains committed to “bargaining productively.”
