CUPE Ontario says its workers, many of who make less than $40,000 a year, need a salary increase that reflects inflation. “Our goal is that we are going to continue to fight for the services that our students need, and we’re going to continue to fight to make sure that the staff can afford to give those services to the students,” Laura Walton, the president of CUPE’s Ontario School Board Council of Unions, said last week.
“We all have to just be reasonable. And we have to make a commitment that we’re not going to walk away from the table and strike,” Lecce said. “After two extraordinary years, these kids, I think they deserve to have all of us at the table with one mission, which is to keep them in school learning.”
