OPSEU says the legislation that forced Ontario’s college faculty back to work after the five week strike, violated their rights.

They’ve launched a charter challenge against the back-to-work legislation and have asked for an arbitrator’s decision to be thrown out.

The arbitrator gave faculty what they had been asking for in December, a 7.75 per cent increase over four years and added new language on academic freedom, which had been the main outstanding issue in the dispute.

Now the union is demanding that deal be scrapped and both parties return to the bargaining table.
