Ontario’s legislature began sitting at 5 a.m. Tuesday morning in order to speed up passage of a new law imposing contracts on the province’s education workers and banning the planned strike for Friday.
The Canadian Union of Public Employees, representing approximately 55-thousand education workers, says its members will still walk off the job despite the government’s move. Meanwhile Director of Education for the Hastings Prince Edward District School Board Katherine MacIver says should CUPE workers begin a strike schools will not be able to operate safely and will be closed.Close to 600 CUPE members are employed with the the Hastings Prince Edward school board.
Schools with the Kawartha Pine Ridge public and Peterborough Victoria Catholic boards will also be closed. There has been no announcement from the Algonquin Lakeshore Catholic board.

Ontario education workers issue five-day strike noticeThe union representing about 55,000 Ontario education workers says a strike could start as soon as Nov. 4 if it doesn’t reach a deal with the government Give them the nearly 50% increase they demand, then maybe the rest of us working smucks can use it as reference for our next 'hopeful' raise... In this thread People from Ontario who want you to vote federal lib. Their arguments They think their province with $300 BILLION in debt and runaway growth, could be a utopia, if it wasn't for Ford messing everything up after the libs were tossed out for rampant corruption. The fordnation gov’t is screwing up almost every portfolio they have with unskilled & inept ministers & tone deaf comms (except Clarke). Now they’ll overreact & try to swat their flies with a sledgehammer. insecure outclassed onted

Ontario education workers issue five-day strike notice before negotiations resumeThe union representing about 55,000 Ontario education workers has given five days’ notice of a potential provincewide strike. The hardest working peoplekind in Canada. yea it's all about the 'money' I mean 'children' if anyone deserves a raise it would be 'veterans, people on disability people who rely on welfare, seniors' but don't let that stop ya from saying 'it's all about the children' if ya don't like what your getting paid work elsewhere I imagine there are lots of people who would be willing to work for what your getting paid now, nice generous benefits and perks, it's not about any 'children' its about how much more money can be sucked from the taxpayer while threatening to strike if ya dont get what you want
