Ontario education support workers will have until Dec. 5 to decide whether or not to accept a new contract with the provincial government.
In a statement issued late Tuesday, the Canadian Union of Public Employees said their approximately 55,000 members will vote online as to whether to ratify the tentative agreement starting Nov. 24.“To allow members time to review and process the details of this tentative agreement, we will not be commenting further until the ratification vote results are released,” the union said.
CUPE has said the agreement provides a $1 flat rate hourly wage increase for all workers, which would equate to about a 3.59 per cent annual increase on average. In a letter to members, the union said the bargaining committee also secured repayment for the two days workers participated in a political protest due to Bill 28—legislation that not only mandated a contract onto workers but also made it illegal for them to strike.
The government is labelling the deal as a “win, win, win”; however Laura Walton, president of CUPE's Ontario School Board Council of Unions , does not feel the same way.
