College Faculty bargaining update: Defending education starts now
Today, we received the No Board report we requested from the Ministry of Labour. As per our last update, this initiates the 16-day countdown before labour action, or an employer lockout, can begin – setting January 4th as the first possible day of labour action.
A five-day notice must be communicated during, or after, this 16-day period by either party prior to escalation. No labour action will commence without formal notice.
The terms and conditions of the collective agreement are frozen during this time. Bargaining can continue throughout, and beyond, this countdown; however, should the College Employer Council (CEC) continue to maintain harmful concessions and demonstrate a lack of meaningful engagement in the bargaining process we will be in a legal position to call for labour action.
