Ontario College Support Workers Strike Ends After Tentative Agreement

Details of the settlement will be outlined Wednesday afternoon to striking support workers, who are to return to work Thursday.

Picket lines at Algonquin College and La Cité were lifted Wednesday after college support workers and the province reached a tentative agreement.

About 10,000 full-time support workers at 24 colleges across the province went on strike on Sept.

The College Employer Council (CEC), the province’s negotiating agent, and the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) reached the agreement after a weekend-long mediation session with mediator William Kaplan.

Details of the agreement have not been released. The deal will be up for ratification on Nov.

Author's summary: Strike ends with tentative agreement.
