The Nipissing Faculty Association says it stands in solidarity with the faculty on strike at Canadore College according to a news release this afternoon.
“We share OPSEU’s concerns about shared governance and the exploitation of precarious contract faculty,” said NUFA President Amanda Burk. “There are serious consequences, academic and otherwise when decisions are made without the input of the faculty who are the ones working with students on the front lines. There are also serious consequences when the vast majority of courses being offered are taught by exploited, underpaid contract workers who have no job security beyond one semester."
Ontario’s college faculty are on day two of their strike.

There is 108 full-time faculty striking at the College Drive facility.
More than 12,000 professors, counsellors and librarians are on strike at the 24 Ontario colleges.
A delegation from NUFA is expected to join OPSEU on the picket lines on Friday as a show of solidarity.
