There’s more job unrest ahead for Ontario schools. Fifty five thousand non-teaching staff is threatening to work-to-rule as students
prepare to head back to class. Staffers include educational assistants, office and library staff, custodians and early childhood educators.
CUPE and the province spent yesterday at the bargaining table and more dates have been set to meet. The workers have been without a
contract for a year. Their first legal strike day is September 10th. The province has tentative deals with Catholic and high school teachers but
is still negotiating with elementary and francophone teachers.
