University of Guelph-Humber Updates

Here you will find the latest information about emerging or ongoing issues impacting University of Guelph-Humber operations or the U of GH community. This information will be updated as required. You are encouraged to bookmark the page for future reference.

Support Staff Labour Update

As you may know, the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU), the union representing all full-time support staff at all 24 Ontario colleges, and the College Employer Council (CEC) have been involved in collective bargaining on a new contract, as the current agreement ends on August 31, 2025.

At this time there is no labour action and there is no impact on University of Guelph-Humber operations. OPSEU (full-time support staff) has indicated an intention to strike as of 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, September 11.

While we are unable to predict if labour action will happen, please know that the University of Guelph-Humber and Humber Polytechnic are committed to student success and ensuring that classes and academic progress will continue uninterrupted. Humber has never lost a semester because of labour action.

Support staff are a valued and vital part of the Humber community and the Ontario college system.

We will continue to update the U of GH community. Please check for regular communication on our updates page, on our social media channels and by direct email. Please also visit the CEC website for updates and information.
