Bill 33 represents an existential threat to the autonomy of our higher education system. It reflects the Ont. govt’s continued efforts to control post-sec, prioritizing political agendas over the educational needs of Ontario's students & communities. campuscoalition.org/post/sta…

Using the leverage of a historic strike mandate, faculty were able to compel the CEC to withdraw significant concessions. CAAT-A members have flexed our collective power in service of a better system. 2/2

These steps have been taken in response to the CEC's unwillingness to bargain a fair contract without concessions. The no-board report is a lever available to both sides that, once issued, begins a 16-day countdown before labour action, or a lockout, can commence. 2/3
