A general strike would see several participants ceasing their economic activity in Ontario in an effort to bolster the bargaining position of a trade union to reach a common social or political purpose.
There is likely a big escalation on the way in the labour showdown between the province and education workers.
Sources say multiple unions are on board, and in the lead-up to a possible general strike, there will be escalating job action. “Bill 28 undermines our most foundational rights and freedoms, forces a terrible contract on education workers, violates workers’ constitutional right to bargain fairly, and pre-emptively deems a strike illegal instead of continuing with negotiations,” CUPE Ontario said in a statement on Sunday, Nov. 5.
