Ontario education workers file strike notice again
On Monday, Ontario repealed controversial legislation that had imposed a contract on the workers and banned them from striking.That legislation was passed on Nov. 3 after an earlier strike notice from CUPE in an effort to keep them at work.
But thousands of workers, including education assistants, librarians and custodians, walked off the job anyway, shutting hundreds of schools to in-person learning for two days. Premier Doug Ford then offered last week to withdraw the legislation if CUPE members returned to work, which they did, and bargaining then resumed.
