Part time faculty members at Ontario's community colleges are looking to unionize, and receive the same/similar benefits as their unionized, full-time counterparts. The strength of the OPSEU local representing full-timers was illustrated last year, when a province wide strike occur ed. An unnamed labour organization is looking to organize these part-timers.
However, part-time college faculty are legally prevented from collective bargaining (more evidence that the state is not neutral in labour relations) and will need to see laws changed before the drive can begin. It's up to McGuinty's Liberals now....which side are you on boys (and girls), which side are you on?
