Support staff workers at Ontario's 24 colleges are in a legal strike position and could walk out as early as Tuesday, Sept. 2.

Union representatives set up a strike trailer in the Humber College North campus parking lot on Thursday afternoon. Union representatives were hosting information pickets at various locations throughout the province. Talks are ongoing over the weekend.

Director of Marketing and Communications for Humber Sylvia Kowal said the college is hoping to have the matter resolved before the strike deadline. However, she assured that classes will go on despite the strike.

"The college will remain open for both our day and evening classes," said Kowal. The workers in position to strike are members of OPSEU local 563 and are not faculty, but rather administrative staff at the college.

In the event of a work stoppage, Kowal said the college will continue to update students through its website www.humber.ca
