Ontario’s education support workers could hit the picket lines on Friday if three days of mediation don’t produce a contract.
The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), which represents 55,000 support workers, served the government a formal notice on Sunday that a “full withdrawal of services” will take place on Nov. 4 if the two sides can’t agree on a new contract. CUPE will be in a legal strike position on Nov. 3.
On Oct. 3, more than 43,000 of CUPE’s 55,000 members took part in a vote on strike action – 96.5 per cent voted in favour.
Ahmar Khan has more on the possible labour action and the stalled negotiations.
