👉The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) says it has reached a tentative deal with the Ontario government to avert a strike after labour negotiations over the weekend. "Workers will be in schools tomorrow and there will not be a strike," said Laura Walton, the president of CUPE's Ontario School Board Council of Unions. Laura Walton announced the tentative deal Sunday at a news conference shortly after the 5 p.m. strike deadline given to the province to come to an agreement in order to avoid another job walkoff.✅ . . #educationworkersontario #strike #educationworkersstrike #strikesincanada #CUPE #CUPEcanada #ontarioschoolboard #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

👉The premier of Canada’s most populous province is under fire for a “draconian” bill that would fine school support staff C$4,000 a day for striking, prompting concerns that Ontario is eroding fundamental workers’ rights and setting a troubling precedent. The Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents 55,000 education workers, has called for an 11.3% raise for its workers often the lowest paid in schools arguing that stagnant wage growth and high inflation have hit the lowest earners hardest. The government has countered with a 2.5% annual raise for the lowest income workers and 1.5% raises for others. With little progress on negotiations and a strike planned on Friday, the government fast-tracked Bill 28. If passed, the controversial legislation which fines workers C$4,000 a day and the union C$500,000 for striking.✅ . . #Canadianworkersstrike #strike #canadastrike #canadianstrikes #strikesincanada #draconian #Canadianunionofpublicemployees #OntarioNews #Canadanews #dailynewscanada #candadianmallu #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
