Public service union Local 892 was the union representing faculty at North City College (NCC) in Kingston, a mid-sized city in Canada's Ontario province. NCC had approached Local 892 to request a local agreement exempting the college from following the collective agreement's clause forcing it to hire someone permanently if they were on contract for over twelve months. The union had to decide whether to allow NCC to hire librarian Sharrod Alasa for an additional twelve-month contract or force the college to decide to either end Alasa's contract or hire him to a permanent position.
