Bargaining Between Colleges and Faculty Union to Resume Tomorrow, Ahead of Friday Strike Deadline

Parties will resume negotiations tomorrow in an attempt to reach a deal before Friday's strike deadline.

The Ontario Public Service Employees Union will meet with the College Employer Council tomorrow, to try to avoid a strike at Ontario's colleges, including Niagara College. 

The union says bargaining is scheduled for tomorrow, and the strike deadline may be extended if 'real progress is being made.'

Workers that could strike starting Friday include about 16,000 professors, instructors, counsellors and librarians. 

On February 17th, faculty staff rejected a final offer, and a strike deadline was set earlier this week. 

Since December, a work to rule campaign has been in effect.
