Ontario education workers have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a strike if negotiations with the province continue to stall but many parents and school staff may be wondering what comes next.
On Monday, the Canadian Union of Public Employees announced that employees—including custodians, early childhood educators and school administration staff—A vote to strike does not mean that education staff will be on the picket lines straight away. Parents should not expect any immediate disruption in class activities or school schedules.
The union must also give five days’ notice before starting any job action, including a work-to-rule campaign, a lockout or a strike. A five-day notice of a province-wide strike was issued a few days later, and a tentative deal was reached after some last minute negotiations. CUPE is asking for a wage increase of $3.25 per hour, or an annual increase of about 11.7 per cent. They argue that since salary increases have been capped at one per cent due to Bill 124 for the last three years, this kind of raise is necessary to keep up with inflation.
