The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) and the provincial government with the assistance of mediator William Kaplan will start working together today with the goal of negotiating a new collective agreement for Ontario’s 50,000 frontline education workers.
Among other things, the union wants a yearly wage increase of $3.25/hour , early childhood educators in every kindergarten class, five additional paid days before the start of the school year, 30 minutes of paid daily prep time, an increase in overtime pay, and a $100 million investment in new job creation.
“My coworkers across Ontario are expecting to see an offer that shows this government understands we’ve taken forced pay cuts for the last decade and now our wages are being eroded even more by high inflation. We welcome the assistance of a mediator to help us get a deal done that meets the needs of students, parents, and frontline workers.”
On Oct. 3, the province’s education workers, which include custodians, early childhood educators and school administration staff, voted overwhelmingly in favour of a strike. More than 80 per cent of its 55,000 education workers voted over 10 days with 96.5 per cent electing to walk off the job if a contract could not be reached, CUPE said.
