The Canadian Union of Public Employees , which represents 55,000 school workers, including caretakers, education assistants and other support staff, issued its required five days’ strike notice on Wednesday.
Education Minister Stephen Lecce said in a statement over the weekend that the government improved its wage offer to CUPE, as well as provided enough funding for additional workers. He called on the union to “put kids first.” The parties were in negotiations, with the help of a mediator, for part of last week and throughout the weekend at a downtown Toronto hotel in order to reach a deal on a new contract before a strike on Monday.
The government had insisted the legislation was needed to keep students in school after more than two years of pandemic-related disruptions. At the time, CUPE had given its required five days’ notice of a legal strike after contract talks reached an impasse.
Yay...we did it.....more union dues ..
Tentative deal means the members, who voted to strike if a good deal wasn’t made, have to vote on the deal. If they vote no, it’s a strike. They’ll vote No. it’s a crap deal that CUPE made ALL of the concessions on. It shall not pass.
NOOOOOOOO
