CUPE members picket at Ontario MPPs’ offices as indefinite education strike begins | National Newswatch
Thousands of Ontario education workers hit picket lines across the province Friday morning, honking noisemakers, waving flags and chanting"stand up, fight back," on the first day of an indefinite and illegal strike that's shut many schools.
Aaron Guppy, a caretaker at the York Region District School Board, said he was fighting not only for himself, but for all workers. "It's not just about the money and the benefits," she said."It's about being recognized for being a necessity in the school system and that we're professionals." "Nothing matters more right now than getting all students back in the classroom and we will use every tool available to us to do so,” he wrote in a statement.
In Milton, Ont., part of the Halton District School Board, which kept schools open Friday, parent Yasir Aziz, said he thinks the strike is"complicated" and worries about what happens if the board cancels classes in the event of an extended strike.
