Education support workers at three Ottawa school boards could go on strike on Friday, if a new contract agreement is not reached this week with the province.
CUPE represents 55,0000 support workers across Ontario, including staff at the Ottawa Catholic School Board, the Conseil des écoles catholiques Centre-Est and Conseil des école publiques de I’Est.Mediated talks between the education workers' central bargaining committee and the province will resume on Tuesday.
CUPE proposed a wage increase of $3.25 per hour in each year of a three-year agreement. The union says the government offered $0.33 to $.053 an hour increase. “For the sake of students and parents, we are not giving up on a deal that protects in-person learning for kids, after two years of disruption that led to learning loss and mental health adversity," Lecce said in a statement to CTV News Ottawa.
