As we enter 2025, we’re gearing up in our fight to set the course for part-timer futures at Ontario’s 24 public colleges. This fight matters: for you, for your colleagues, for your family, and for generations of workers after us.
A better college system cannot be built on precarity: we need to be able to afford to live in the communities we work in. Groceries, gas, rent, cost-of-living, it’s all going up – everything except our wages.
Enough is enough. It’s time for a different agenda – and we get to decide what we’re willing to do to achieve it.
Join us on Wednesday, January 22nd at 7:00 p.m. (EST) on Zoom for a Special Bargaining Town Hall.
Register for Jan 22 Town Hall here.
On the agenda:
- A bargaining breakdown of what’s happened so far on both sides of the table between your CAAT-S PT bargaining team and the College Employer Council (CEC.)
- Important member polling to determine future negotiations.
We’re touring the province – visiting your campus soon!
Members of your CAAT-S PT bargaining team and Divisional Executive are back on tour to connect with you on the ground about the issues facing members and our fight for a fair deal – including a livable wage increase and paid sick days for all.
Over January, we’re touring the province; our full tour schedule is listed below. Room numbers will be communicated out to members are their respective college via your bargaining team and Local president.
If you can’t connect with us in person, you can participate in our daily virtual drop-ins on Zoom: Monday – Friday, 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. until the end of January.
