If part-timers unionize, will tuition fees have to be increased to fund contract improvements for them?
There is no direct link between tuition fees and college wages. The real problem is that Ontario provides the second-lowest level of government funding per college student of any province. (Quebec, by contrast, does not charge tuition fees to Canadian students who live in the province.) By joining OPSEU, part-timers will have a stronger voice and an important tool collective bargaining to argue for increased college funding.
