Existing contract to be extended for two years
TORONTO, August 29, 2012:
Ontario’s 24 colleges today announced that a tentative agreement has been reached with 10,000 college faculty.
“This is great news for our students, faculty and the colleges, as it secures a new contract for two years and removes the threat of a strike,” said Sonia Del Missier, Chair of the Colleges’ Bargaining Team. “Both sides bargained hard and came to a settlement that is reasonable to faculty and affordable for the colleges.”

• Two-year deal – September 1, 2012 to August 31, 2014
• Faculty salaries would be frozen
• Eligible faculty would still move through the grid
• All benefits would remain untouched
• The offer asks for no concessions from faculty
