More than 10,000 college support staff, members of the Ontario Public Sector Employees Union (OPSEU) are on strike to demand funding for public colleges. Provincial funding for Ontario colleges has dropped 30 per cent since 2013, while funding for private companies has climbed by whopping 800 per cent since 2020.

As a result, 10,000 jobs have been cut across the college system – the largest string of lay-offs in the province’s history. This will negatively impact the quality of education our future nurses and health-care professionals receive because without staff and educators there is no education.
