Representing Full-Time and Partial-Load Faculty, Counsellors, and Librarians at Georgian College.

[OPSEU Local 560 @OPSEU560]

We urge you to vote YES! (in favour) to show strength and solidarity. A strong YES vote is a vote of confidence in our team and gives them power at the bargaining table.

Watch our Youtube for why you should vote "Yes" to the Strike Mandate Vote: https://t.co/4lL7B8qBQJ

[OPSEU/SEFPO @OPSEU]

Today, over 15,000 College Faculty @CAATfaculty begin their strike vote. The Colleges need to honour their core mandate & invest in quality education. With a system-wide surplus in the billions, there’s money to do it. From October 15-17, vote YES to demand it. #OntEd #OnLab

[College Faculty @CAATfaculty]

The CEC states their proposals "provide breakthrough improvements" that address members' key demands.

Hogwash.

🚨🚨We are facing serious concessions that erode working conditions with real time wage cuts to boot!

Vote YES

#TrainingOntariosFuture

[OPSEU/SEFPO @OPSEU]

Without a renewal agreement in hand on the first day of contract expiry, over 15,000 college faculty will hold a strike mandate vote October 15-17, authorizing labour action should a fair agreement fail to be reached. Full release: https://t.co/cswscyZ8rn

Oct 1st bargaining update.
CEC hasn't removed concessions from the table, and won't agree to meaningfully integrate members' proposals in new contract language.
Strike mandate vote Oct 15-17✊

Nothing if not consistent. See most recent budget submission - a scant two pages - also out of touch - nothing about addressing root causes.

[OPSEU Local 562 @OPSEULocal562]

Remember: A Strong strike vote is the best tool we have to move our demands forward!

Sept 25 is members' Day of Action!

It's time to advance the proposals in bargaining, protect ourselves from the CEC's ability to impose terms, & fight back concessions.

Contact your Local. Find out what's planned - read/share the latest at https://t.co/Kxr4UGxQFC ✊

[College Faculty @CAATfaculty]

We don't bargain concessions because our rights are not ours to give away. They were bargained by members before us & they belong to members who will come after us.

Our job is to bargain members’ demands and secure improved wages, & working conditions.
