Faculty Accept New Contract - No Strike

Faculty at Ontario's 24 colleges have accepted the colleges' final offer and will not be going on strike.

On February 10, we announced that the unofficial result of the academic employee vote was 51.25 per cent in favour of accepting management's last offer. However, the official results could not be determined until all of the ballots, including segregated ballots and mailed-in ballots, were reviewed by the Ontario Labour Relations Board.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board has now advised us that the review of the ballots is complete and 51.45 per cent of academic employees voted in favour of the new contract.

This means there will be no strike and classes will continue as usual.
