10,000 college workers with the Ontario Public Sector Employees Union (OPSEU) are on strike.
Ontario’s public colleges are the backbone of the province’s economy. They train workers, fill skills gaps, and support key sectors like health care, manufacturing, and hospitality. They reduce poverty, create employment, and strengthen local communities.
Instead of properly funding the college system so that it can fulfill these missions, however, the Ford government has manufactured a crisis by defunding public colleges on a per student basis and handing millions to private for-profit training companies.
OPSEU is asking for your solidarity. Please consider adopting a local college and joining the picket lines. You can find more information and sign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfj1Bn-0b3N8ro-xihTimsdkWE6nwL-LxyMyKpEmd3iiRZiLA/viewform
