text: Well, I hope the mediator can bring about a fair and equitable deal for Canadian college workers and classes can open again as soon as possible. If the ratio of full time teachers to part time teaching staff can improve to 50/50 and contract workers can get some reasonable job security, be paid for every hour worked, and get some benefits, I think most college teachers would be satisfied. The colleges have been taking advantage of lax labour laws around precarious work for too long and the only way to improve conditions was through labour actions.
