TORONTO — The Canadian Union of Public Employees, representing 55,000 Ontario education workers, has filed a five-day strike notice, saying bargaining talks with the province have broken down once more.

Laura Walton, the president of CUPE's Ontario School Board Council of Unions, said the agreement on wages is a $1-per-hour raise, which is about 3.59 per cent a year. She said that's"a win," but is"not enough."CUPE said it is still looking for guarantees of higher staffing levels for educational assistants, librarians, custodians and secretaries, and an early childhood educator in every kindergarten classroom and not just classes that have at least 15 students.
