The Struggle for Ontario’s Universities and Colleges

Ontario’s higher education sector faces a perfect storm of austerity, rising precarity, and eroding academic freedom. This has provoked a sustained wave of resistance, marked by near-continuous faculty, staff, and student-worker strikes over recent years–exemplified by the recent OPSEU support staff strike.

Learning from these Ontario struggles and from successful, militant unionism in the United States, this event argues for a new strategic direction. We will explore the structural challenges and strategic issues that higher education workers face and consider the potential for a path forward based on commitments to wall-to-wall organization and new forms of sectoral solidarity and joint action.

Registration required – Please register here.

When: November 20 – 7pm
Where: Downtown Toronto – Venue shared upon registration
Who: All those who work in the higher education sector, including non-academic workers.
