Still No Talks Scheduled In College Strike

There's still no end in sight to the strike at Ontario's public colleges.

Striking faculty at St. Clair College held a rally Friday to voice their frustrations over the lack of negotiations.

Bargaining Chair J.P. Hornick says there have been no contract talks or plans to schedule negotiations since college staff went on strike almost two weeks ago.

"We feel that the college council is holding the students and the faculty hostage at this point, there's no reason why we can't be at that bargaining table engaged in negotiations," says Hornick.

Hornick says two major issues remain on the table; more job security for part-time faculty and more academic control in the classroom. Over 12,000 college faculty members across the province have been on strike since October 15.
