安大略大专院校教师罢工开始于关于工作保障和财政拮据的争议中。 Ontario college faculty strike begins amid disputes over job security and financial constraints.

以OPSEU为代表的安大略大学教师,由于在以前的调解中未能与学院雇主委员会达成协议,从星期六起处于合法罢工状态。 Ontario's college faculty, represented by the OPSEU, are in a legal strike position starting Saturday, after failing to reach an agreement with the College Employer Council in previous mediations. 该工会担心工作保障和工作条件,代表15 000名教职员工。 The union, worried about job security and working conditions, represents 15,000 faculty members. 理事会认为,鉴于学院财政紧张,部分由于国际学生入学率下降了50%,工会的要求是不合理的。 The Council argues the union's demands are unreasonable given the financial strain on colleges, partly due to a 50% drop in international student enrollment. 双方将在1月6日和7日再次开会进行调解。 Both sides will meet again for mediation on January 6 and 7.
