CUPE to announce results of education workers’ ratification vote on tentative deal
But Laura Walton, the president of CUPE’s Ontario School Boards Council of Unions, has expressed reservations about the deal because it doesn’t include new staffing level guarantees.
“For the last week and a half, frontline education workers have been deciding if what’s in this tentative agreement is acceptable. This — workers having the freedom to negotiate and to withdraw our labour if necessary — is democracy in action,” Walton said in a statement. After the tentative deal was struck, Education Minister Stephen Lecce thanked education workers and said he was grateful the two sides “came together in the interest of our kids and put them first.”
