Union may request a 'no board' report, indicating a deal can't be reached; Education Minister calls CUPE's demands 'unreasonable'
TORONTO — A union representing 55,000 Ontario education workers such as custodians, librarians and early childhood educators says it has reached an impasse in bargaining with the government.
If a conciliator then issues a "no board" report, it sets a 17-day countdown to the union being in a legal strike position. "If that's the pressure that they need in order to come to the table, then that's what's going to happen," Walton said in a press conference. "After being back in school for a month, catching up on their learning, I can’t imagine parents and kids are sitting down this weekend giving thanks to education unions’ relentless pursuit of classroom disruptions," he wrote in a statement.
