Teacher Talks Break Off

Negotiations with the province's nine-thousand community college teachers has broken off and no new talks are expected.

The Ontario Public Service Employees Union says that leaves it no choice but to plan for a January 13 strike vote.

OPSEU president Warren "Smokey" Thomas says for the second time in two weeks their bargaining team came forward with significant changes to their position.

The union represents faculty at 24 community colleges, including those at Confederation College and its Fort Frances campus.
