Ontario College Support Workers Hold Rallies Amid Ongoing Strike
The strike by 10,000 support staff demanding better wages and job security has led to class cancellations at multiple Ontario colleges, with concerns over campus closures cited by the union.
- Support staff working full-time at Ontario’s public colleges, totaling approximately 10,000 individuals and represented by OPSEU, have been on strike since September 11 and have held demonstrations throughout the province.
- The strike began after negotiations collapsed earlier this week when the employer and college leadership reached a deadlock regarding the terms related to job security.

- The ongoing strike, entering its fourth week, complicates service delivery amid campus closures, layoffs, and financial struggles due to funding and enrollment challenges.
