BREAKING: Ontario education workers one step closer to strike after mediation breaks down
In a statement issued Wednesday afternoon, the bargaining committee said the “parties are too far apart.”
The mediator has requested that both parties resume bargaining on Nov. 1, two days before the union will be in a position to legally take job action. The main point of contention is salary. The Ontario government has offered education workers making less than $40,000 a year a two per cent salary increase while all other workers are being offered a 1.25 per cent salary increase.
