Premier says bargaining between province and CUPE resuming today
TORONTO — Bargaining is resuming today between the Ontario government and a union representing 55,000 education workers – who are back on the job today after a walkout – and the premier says he is presenting an "improved" offer.
Ford says he can't get into details, but the government is presenting a better offer, particularly for lower-income workers. Ford says the government had previously offered a higher amount than what was in its original proposed contract, and he was "floored" that CUPE didn't take it.
