CEC accuses OPSEU of bargaining in bad faith

The College Employer Council (CEC) has accused the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) of bargaining in bad faith, and has filed a claim with the Ontario labour board, reports The Hamilton Spectator. Council CEO Graham Lloyd stated that the “mediation was unsuccessful due to their intransigence.” OPSEU Local 240 President Heather Giardine-Tuck asserted that the union has been bargaining in good faith and “has made considerable movements in its proposals.” CAUT executive director David Robinson commented on the situation, asserting that “[t]he demands that the union has focused on are fair and reasonable and are necessary for preserving the quality and integrity of post-secondary education in Ontario.” Newswire | The Hamilton Spectator | CAUT (ON)
