The bargaining team for Ontario’s 24 public colleges is calling on OPSEU, the union representing professors and instructors, to work through the weekend to try to avert a strike on Monday.
The College Employer Council on Friday rejected the latest contract proposal from OPSEU — which included a nine per cent wage increase over three years.
Its bargaining team says that would cost an additional $400 million a year and the only path forward to a contract settlement will be based on the colleges’ final offer.

OPSEU rejected that offer earlier this week when it set a strike deadline of 12:01 a.m. Monday for the more than 12,000 college professors, instructors, counsellors and librarians it represents.
