NEW: Ontario Education Minister Stephen Lecce will speak to the media at 5 p.m. following the strike deadline for education workers. ottnews
Ontario Education Minister Stephen Lecce is set to speak Sunday evening following a 5 p.m. deadline to strike a deal with education workers.
The union provided five-day notice of their intention to strike last Wednesday, saying that talks “broke down” despite “many late hour attempts to achieve a freely negotiated settlement.” The Progressive Conservatives carried out their promise with Bill 28—the “Keeping Students in Class Act—which not only mandated a contract onto education support workers but also made striking illegal.
