Employer makes non-monetary proposals

Today, the employer team proposed language on respectful workplaces, dates for union release time, and the assignment of coordinator duties. They did not address faculty concerns around structural changes in relation to harassment and discrimination, and dismissed the need for joint union-employer committee work to be recorded on SWFs. In addition, the employer team continued in their questioning of the legitimacy of faculty demands rather than dealing with the substance of these concerns.

Precarity, equity and racialization in the Ontario College system

Three-quarters of faculty teaching in our public colleges are precarious workers – disproportionately women and racialized workers. They lack job security and benefits. They earn less than full-time faculty for doing exactly the same work. Their class sizes are ballooning. This hurts them and it hurts students. We’re bargaining for better – for fairness for these faculty.
