The union representing about 10,000 part-time support workers at Ontario's public colleges will hold a strike vote next week amid an ongoing strike by full-time support staff.
Noor Askandar, chair of the college part-time support bargaining team at the Ontario Public Service Employees Union, says part-time workers at the 24 colleges have been working under an expired collective agreement since January 2024.
Askandar says the part-time workers' demands include paid sick days, cancelled shift pay for all workers and wage increases.
