Sigh of Relief for College Students

The results are in and faculty at Ontario’s 24 Colleges, including Confederation, have accepted what the colleges called their final contract offer.
The colleges say in a statement they are pleased as it means
there will not be a strike.
A spokesman for the colleges says the Ontario Labour Relations Board confirmed that a 51.45% majority accepted the offer in a vote held across the province.
Teachers voted in favour of the colleges’ contract offer earlier this month, but the union said the vote was too close to call.
The Ontario Public Service Employees Union, which represents the 9,000 teachers, counsellors and librarians, said a review was needed because the result had a margin of about 200 votes and as many as 300 mail-in ballots remained to be counted.
It also postponed its strike deadline until after the final
results, saying that if the contract was ultimately rejected, OPSEU would ask the employer to immediately resume negotiations and, if needed, submit all outstanding issues to binding arbitration
