A victory for International students attending Confederation College.
Student Union President Jodi Afonso says after meeting at Queen’s Park with the Deputy Premier last week, it was announced that foreign students will not be penalized if the current teachers strike forces them to overstay their Visa.
Afonso calls the news a small victory.
However, Afonso says they were not able to persuade Deb Matthews to spur both sides in the dispute to the bargaining table.
She says students will now target both sides in the dispute to resume negotiations.
No new talks are planned in the strike that is entering its third week.
