Ontario carpenters’ union strike ongoing amid ‘stalled negotiations’
says a strike involving more than 15,000 of its members is ongoing amid “stalled negotiations.”
The union claims that the employers said they can’t meet Friday or next week because they need to gather data before restarting negotiations.“It is incredibly disappointing that this group of employers wants to hold hostage millions of dollars’ worth of construction, much of which involves critical infrastructure, because they are unprepared,” said Mike Yorke, the CDCO’s president and director of public affairs and innovation.
The union said they want to see an increase in wages for their workers amid high inflation and the rising cost of living.
