Hundreds of striking workers and their supporters picketed outside Mohawk College in Hamilton and other provincial colleges Thursday morning in an effort to pressure their employers after talks broke down Monday.

At Mohawk's campus on Fennell Avenue W., workers from southwestern Ontario institutions Niagara College, Sheridan College, and Conestoga College, joined Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) Local 241 in marching and holding signs demanding job security.

"We've got very enthusiastic support out here," Susan Lau, Local 241 president, told CBC Hamilton after the rally as a driver passing the picket line honked.

"Morale has been good on the line," she said, with workers from other unions, members of the public and college students coming up and sharing encouragement.
