Before a strike could happen, the union would have to ask the conciliator to issue a “no board” report, meaning a deal can’t be reached. Once that report is issued, the union would be in a legal strike position 17 days later, and it also has to give five days’ notice of any job action. “As CUPE moves ahead towards a strike that hurts kids and disrupts families — leaving behind a reasonable offer that also protects the most generous benefits and pension plan in the country — we will continue to remain at the table to make sure kids stay in class without interruption right through to June,” he said in a written statement.Article content
