Breaking: CUPE to collapse protest sites in 'gesture of good faith' after Doug Ford commits to repealing Bill 28.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford has commited to repealing Bill 28 “in its its entirety,” announced Mark Hancock, national president of CUPE at a press conference Monday. The union also says education workers will soon return to schools as bargaining resumes.
As a “gesture of good faith,” union leaders say they will collapse protest sites at Queen’s Park starting tomorrow. In an olive branch meant to turn down the heat as workers remain off the job for a second day — shutting down schools in many boards, and amid talk of a general strike one day next week — Ford and Education Minister Stephen Lecce made the announcement Monday morning as hundreds of education workers protested out front of Queen’s Park.
