Faculty plan to rally in downtown Toronto (at Yonge and Dundas) and then march a few blocks to the Ministry of Colleges building.
Toronto Star: Teachers wary of minister’s invitation
Chris Bentley asks to meet with striking college teachers and college negotiators
The man who heads the bargaining team for 9,100 striking Ontario college teachers and faculty said he is “encouraged” by today’s invitation to meet tomorrow with the minister responsible for post-secondary education.
“Finally, we have somebody willing to listen,” Ted Montgomery shouted out to about 2,000 teachers at a noon-hour rally at Dundas Square in downtown Toronto. “I’m proud of you, but deeply saddened we have been driven to this,” he told them.
The invitation to meet came from Colleges and Universities Minister Chris Bentley, but the invitation was greeted skeptically by organizers of the rally.
