But Education Minister Stephen Lecce said he's hopeful that the two sides will get back to the table.“We really hope that those discussions will carry forward. Today and over the coming days, we expect there to be conversations,” Lecce told CP24 Breakfast in an interview Thursday morning. “You know ultimately, notwithstanding the strike notice, we can still have productive conversations at the table and that's what I'm trying to do.
Workers and the government had come back to the table following a brief strike earlier this month. The strike ended when the Ford government agreed to rescind legislation which barred the workers from striking and used the Notwithstanding Clause to head off any possible constitutional challenges against their legislation.
“From the beginning, this bargaining has been about the chronically low wages of those workers, but it has also been about the services in schools,” CUPE Ontario President Fred Hahn told CP24 Thursday. For his part, Lecce said the government has done what was asked of it by repealing the law and agreeing to better wages and is disappointed that the union is striking again.

The plans for Ottawa and eastern Ontario school boards if CUPE begins strike action on MondayThousands of students in Ottawa and eastern Ontario will shift to online learning next week if education workers hit the picket lines. Remember If striking for a bit screws up your kids education then that means teachers are really really important and you should pay them like they are. Close the schools send me my rebate cheque and bye bye Union... 🤷🏼♂️ Ford and Leccee have no one but themselves to blame for this one. Workers are done, it's not just teachers assistant with CUPE that will get mad.
