President John Tibbits of Conestoga College made $636,106 in 2024. Meanwhile, Conestoga laid off 190 support staff and suspended over 80 programs while frontline workers & services are being cut. We can't let them prioritize their pay over public education. #OPSEU #Local238 #ONStrike #CollegesStrike
Did you know? George Brown College President Gervan Fearon earned $412,580 with a 7.8% raise. The PM of Canada, Mark Carney, earned $209,800. Make it make sense, you can’t. But you can see where the problem is, right? Protect support staff jobs at all costs! #OPSEU #Local557 #CollegesStrike

OPSEU invited the employer back to the table, and they agreed. Mediation started today. Hopefully, the CEC/employer comes in good faith and doesn’t walk away this time. #OPSEU #ONStrike #CollegesStrike #ONPoli #oned #Strike #VoteFordOut

Why won’t they negotiate meaningful job security language? The semester is slipping away. Students can’t access critical services. Part-time support staff are also in bargaining and a strike vote is planned/underway for them. #OPSEU #Local557 #ONPoli #CollegesStrike
More than 10K FT college support staff across Ontario are on strike. The strike was triggered after the employer (CEC) refused to include strong job security language in their proposals. We’re fighting to protect the work that keeps campuses running, and the services students rely on. #ONPoli #OPSEU
Ontario college CEOs take home massive salaries whilst denying job security to the staff who keep colleges running. Students lose. Staff lose. CEOs win. According to Sunshine List, CEOs are feasting whilst support staff are left starving.

Colleges Support Staff are still on strike as the employers/CEC refuse to return to the table. The Part Time Strike Vote on October 14. The CEC seem to be pushing for a full disruption to shift the blame onto support staff. Where is the news coverage? #OPSEU #CollegesStrike #ONStrike #ONPoli

In 2024, college presidents’ compensation ranged widely; e.g. Ann Marie Vaughan (Humber) earned $497,880; David Agnew (Seneca) earned $459,778
If the colleges can afford that, they can afford serious protections for their support staff.

College full-time support staff have been on the picket lines since Sept 11, but the College Employer Council refuses to come back to the table. Instead, they’re pushing a false and destructive PR campaign led by Graham Lloyd. #OPSEU #CECFailedUs #ONStrike #CollegesStrike #FordFailedUs

Anyone surprised? Didn’t think so. Ford’s government isn’t here for everyday Canadians. They’re working for the ultra-rich, pushing to privatize colleges/education so their buddies cash in. Wake up, Ontario!
