According to the union, if it is accepted, the proposal means there will be no strikes or lockouts during this round of bargaining between OSSTF/FEESO.
“The proposal also guarantees that OSSTF/FEESO Members will receive a remedy for wages lost under Bill 124, the Ford government’s wage suppression legislation that unfairly targeted woman-dominated public sector workers,” the union said. “Members will receive the remedy without having to wait for the courts to decide on the constitutionality of Bill 124.
Lecce said if approved, the tentative agreement “provides for bargaining to continue without the threat of strikes. If a collective agreement cannot be reached by October 27, 2023, the parties will enter binding interest arbitration to resolve any outstanding issues.” The four major teachers’ unions have been in bargaining with the government for more than a year and all have complained about the slow pace.
The OSSTF had told members in a recent memo that it was also planning strike votes in the fall, saying the government had shown little interest in substantive negotiations and a strong strike mandate would demonstrate a determination to get a fair deal.
