As you may know, the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU), the union representing all full-time support staff at all 24 Ontario colleges, and the College Employer Council (CEC) have been involved in collective bargaining on a new contract, as the current agreement ends on August 31, 2025.
OPSEU has given notice that it intends to begin strike action on September 11, 2025
Bargaining is scheduled to continue on September 9 and 10.
While we are unable to predict if labour action will happen, please know that Humber Polytechnic and the University of Guelph-Humber are committed to student success and ensuring that classes and academic progress will continue uninterrupted. Humber has never lost a semester because of labour action.
Support staff are a valued and vital part of the Humber community and the Ontario college system.
We will continue to update the Humber and Guelph-Humber communities. Please check for regular communication on our updates page, on our social media channels and by direct email. Please also visit the CEC website for updates and information.
