Your daily horoscope: February 25, 2026

  IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY What is your next big goal going to be? No doubt you have a few ideas but as mind planet Mercury turns retrograde on your birthday maybe you should stick with an old goal that for some reason you never quite reached. It still has massive potential. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): You may believe that you have thought of everything but could there be something important you have overlooked? Mercury’s retrograde phase begins today, which means you must check every last detail. Some things may not be what they seem. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21): A friend or co-worker will tell you exactly what you want to hear today, but as it is so exact you should be suspicious.

Ontario College Faculty Strike Averted with Binding Arbitration Agreement

 


In a significant development, the College Employer Council and the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) have reached an agreement to enter binding arbitration, effectively averting a strike that could have impacted faculty and students across Ontario. 


The union, which represents over 15,000 faculty members, had issued a five-day strike notice last week, warning that labor action could begin as early as Thursday. However, after mediation sessions this week, both sides agreed to let an arbitrator resolve the remaining issues. 


While "significant benefit gains" were achieved in negotiations, several key issues, including work conditions, job security, and quality of education, remained unresolved. These outstanding matters will now be addressed by the arbitrator, who will make a final, binding decision.


The College Employer Council has assured that classes will continue as scheduled, ensuring that students' education will not be disrupted. 


This move to arbitration is seen as a positive step in resolving the dispute without the need for a strike, allowing faculty members to continue their work and students to stay on track with their studies. The outcome of the arbitration will be closely watched as it could set the tone for future negotiations in Ontario’s education sector.
