MPP Matthews concedes more progress needs to be made on concerns of college workers

 

August 27, 2007 - According to Liberal MPP Deb Matthews (London North Centre), "Everyone tells us we made progress in our first term dealing with the problems that were left by previous governments. But we want to be re-elected so we can make even more progress in these areas."

Matthews was speaking to OPSECAAT representatives this week about the desire of part-time college workers to bargain collectively.

 

She also acknowledged the fact that Ontario was ninth of the ten provinces in funding per full-time college student.
