Ontario tables bill to avert education worker strike, impose contract
CUPE has said they will explore every avenue to fight the bill, but the government says it intends to use the notwithstanding clause to keep the eventual law in force despite any constitutional challenges.The clause allows the legislature to override portions of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms for a five-year term.
The government had been offering raises of two per cent a year for workers making less than $40,000 and 1.25 per cent for all others, and the education minister says the new deal would give 2.5 per cent annual raises to workers making less than $43,000 and 1.5 per cent raises for all others.BREAKING: The Ford government will force the legislature to reconvene at 5am tomorrow to pass this legislation.
