St. Clair College has cancelled classes on Thursday at its South Windsor campus out of an abundance of caution because of protests.
The Windsor Police have deployed multiple officers to the campus to maintain public safety and ensure traffic flow remains uninterrupted.
The Ontario Public Service Employee Union organized the Day of Action to support striking full-time support staff at public colleges across Ontario, drawing attention to ongoing job action over unresolved contract negotiations.
The protest, which aims to highlight these labor issues, started at 7 a.m. in the parking lot off of Cabana Road.
Senior Vice President of Communications, Advancement, and External Affairs, John Fairley, says members of other unions have joined the striking workers on the picket line.
"Today there's a day of action with our striking support staff, who are being joined on the picket lines by other unions, as well as members of other striking support staff at Lambton and Fanshawe College," he said.
Fairley expects classes to run on Friday.
