The president of CUPE’s Ontario School Board Council of Unions says education workers have their rights back after Premier Doug Ford’s government repealed a law that had imposed a contract and banned them from striking.
Laura Walton says Bill 28 should have never been introduced in the first place, and now with it being scrapped, education workers can focus on negotiating a fair deal that she says “meets the needs of students, families and workers.”
The law was unanimously repealed yesterday at the provincial legislature amid cheers and applause from education workers.
