St. Clair College in Ontario, Canada, is witnessing a historic moment as its faculty union prepares to negotiate a contract for part-time and sessional staff for the first time. Mark Colangelo, President of OPSEU Local 138, noted that the unionization process began in 2017, but legal challenges delayed confirmation until 2022. The union represents around 1,000 faculty members, who previously faced significant employment instability with no formal protections. Colangelo emphasized the challenges faced by part-time instructors who worked on a semester-to-semester basis without job security. The negotiations will take place at the provincial level with the College Employer Council, involving all 24 colleges in the province. The first bargaining dates are set for April 28 and 29, marking a significant step towards improving working conditions for part-time staff at the college.
