Lecce told reporters that he believes the tentative agreement is “a win, win, win” for CUPE members, parents and taxpayers.
CUPE members still have to ratify the agreement, a process which is expected to take until Sunday to complete.
CUPE has said that the tentative agreement provides a $1 flat rate hourly wage increase for all workers, which would equate to a 3.59 per cent annual increase when averaged out across its membership. But Laura Walton, who is the president of CUPE's Ontario School Board Council of Unions , told reporters on Sunday night that the government refused to budge any further “when it came to committing money to new services and staffing guarantees in schools.”
Lecce told reporters on Monday that he believes the tentative agreement is “a win, win, win” for CUPE members, parents and taxpayers.
