“Despite repeated, unmet requests for appropriate disclosure in response to federal and provincial decisions, the CEC and the Colleges have begun implementing imposed terms and conditions that will negatively impact students’ education,” the union said. “Up until this point, we have utilized every tool at our disposal to propel bargaining towards a contract that improves the working lives of college faculty across Ontario.
