Striking members of OPSEU at community colleges will be forced to vote on the contract offer from the college council.
The head of bargaining for the college council says they're disapointed OPSEU has not accepted the offer of settlement.
As a result the Labour Board is being asked to conduct a supervised vote on the final offer.
In a release, the College Employer Council says its settlement offer addresses the faculty priorities including enhancing full-time employment opportunities, better job security for partial load faculty and academic freedom.
The Council is also asking the faculty to suspend the strike and return to the classroom.
The two sides returned to the bargaining table last Thursday for the first time since the strike began late on October 15.
OPSEU has said it's seeking a pay hike and has been pushing the colleges to hire more full-time staff in place of contract teaching positions.
The union has yet to respond to the request
