Ontario colleges and full-time support staff have reached a tentative agreement, ending a five-week strike.
The strike, which impacted all 24 colleges, was resolved after a private mediation session led by Mediator William Kaplan.
“Support staff play an important role in our colleges,” says Graham Lloyd, CEO of the College Employer Council (CEC). “We are grateful to have them back to work.”
Picketing at Ontario colleges will end immediately as part of the agreement with the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU).
