Representing partial-load & full-time professors, counsellors & librarians at Humber College.

Final Call: The part-time and sessional bargaining Final Call: The part-time and sessional bargaining survey closes on October 17th, the bargaining team needs to hear from you about what you want to see in your inaugural collective agreement! Importantly, even if you are currently partial-load or don't have a contract, you are invited to complete the survey as long as you've been part-time or sessional in the recent past.

Our support staff colleagues are on the front line Our support staff colleagues are on the front lines fighting for a college system that champions stable employment for support staff and faculty alike. 

Labour action brings people together in collective recognition of our shared struggle. That has never been more true for College workers than now. But strikes also bring hardship, uncertainty, and exhaustion. 

OPSEU Local 562 is committed to supporting our sibling union, OPSEU Local 563. We have their backs and they have ours. We've picketed and rallied together, and today we donated $15,000 to Local 563's hardship fund. Their fight is our fight, and our solidarity is the best weapon against the dismantling of Ontario's Colleges. #saveourcolleges

The speeches were rousing, the solidarity is building, and the news about what’s really at stake is spreading. We’re here to tell the CEC with one voice: get back to the table and bargain a fair deal for the workers who keep our colleges running. Defend the future of public education! 

One day longer, one day stronger.

Now or never. Join OPSEU President JP Hornick and Now or never. Join OPSEU President JP Hornick and College Faculty across Ontario for an Emergency Town Hall at 7PM today. We're going to talk about the brewing scandal consuming our public college system, and how we can and must fight back if we hope to save our colleges and our jobs.
🚨🚨🚨 EMERGENCY TOWN HALL Comrades, we've been sold 🚨🚨🚨 EMERGENCY TOWN HALL

Comrades, we've been sold a lie about the college crisis and the causes of mass layoffs across the sector. Its not about international enrolment numbers, its about a deliberate attempt to privatize our public college system in favour of corporate interests. 

If we don't act now, there won't be a college system left to save, and few left to defend it. Our members, students, and communities deserve better. We're going to fight back, that's a promise.

We are asking all College Faculty to join OPSEU President JP Hornick for an all-faculty town hall on Monday, September 8 at 7PM.

Brown said halting the EAP program communicates to students that the college is "giving up" on preparing newcomers for success. He says it's "gobsmacking" that George Brown isn't "exploring the possibilities"...
