College Faculty bargaining update: Memorandum of Agreement, mediation-arbitration, and next steps

Following concerted efforts to see movement at the table on Tuesday, we signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to enter mediation-arbitration with the College Employer Counter (CEC) – in the process, securing improved benefit gains for full-time members and breakthrough benefit gains for partial-load. In addition, we cleared significant concessions from the table.

Read the full MOA here.

Gains at the table were only made possible through faculty organizing on the ground, across the province. We saw more movement in two days than the past six months combined. 

It was your work, day in and day out, flexing our collective power to exercise a historic strike mandate – with locals hauling strike trailers and portapotties to campuses across Ontario – that successfully compelled the CEC to remove several concessions.
