Ontario college teachers vote on the colleges’ so-called final offer tomorrow.

But, the teachers union say their members are being misled if they believe rejecting their employers’ last offer won’t lead to a strike.

Head union negotiator Ted Montgomery says he’s ready to go back to the bargaining table and enlist an arbitrator to settle the dispute if the vote is rejected by his membership tomorrow.

Teachers voted 57 per cent in favour of a strike in January, but management asked that the contract be put to the teachers themselves for a vote.
