The union representing education workers across the province says they are still "far apart" at the bargaining table with the Ontario government when it comes to striking a new deal.
In just 20 minutes, the legislature unanimously voted on revoking Bill 28 and deemed it "for all purposes never to have been in force." “I don't think there was a whole lot of trust on our side, that this day would actually happen. Now that we know that this day has actually happened, that team is ready to head back and we're ready to focus,” she said.

Ford-CUPE feud portrays Tories as ‘black-hearted accountants,’ an image which could harm federal ConservativesSome federal Conservatives are concerned that Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s ongoing labour dispute with CUPE education workers is negative portraying federal Conservatives, and putting them at a disadvantage in the upcoming Mississauga-Lakeshore byelection, say some Conservatives. “The strike and the notwithstanding clause is going to create a perception that these Conservatives are black-hearted accountants,” said one veteran Toronto-area Conservative, who spoke to The Hill Times on a not-for-attribution basis to speak their mind. “This is going to be a serious problem for us in this byelection.” Another Conservative source who is following the byelection closely echoed the same view. Both sources said this is the third time in a general or a byelection since 2018 that Ford’s Progressive Conservatives have hamstrung their federal cousins, given most Ontarians do associate the provincial and federal Conservatives. Sources said the Conservatives were in a similar situation prior to the 2019 federal election because of Ford’s then-controversial budgetary cuts in education, public health, legal aid, child care, library services, and a number of others, which caused a slide in their popularity. This gave Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (Papineau, Que.) an open shot against then-Conservative leader Andrew Scheer (Regina-Qu’Appelle, Sask.). Prior to the 2021 election, Ford announced publicly that he would stay neutral, and instructed his cabinet ministers and staff not to take any sides. This did not go over well with his federal counterparts, who accused him of rooting for the Liberals. In the 338-member House of Commons, more than one-third of the seats belong to Ontario MPs. The provincial and federal Ontario riding boundaries are almost the same. Ford won the 2018 and 2022 provincial elections with landslide majorities, which does give the federal Conservatives hope. Currently, the Liberals are behind Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s (Carleton, Ont.) party in nation ImpairedCRONIC abbas_rana1 The record shows that conservatives are merely 'black-hearted'. I would suggest 'thieves' or 'gangsters' as a more appropriate avatar than 'accountant'. abbas_rana1 Ford is literally offering CUPE MORE than the national average for collectively bargained wage increases in Canada. Average 1.8%. Ford: 3.5% for lowest paid CUPE member, 2% or everyone else.
