The repeal of the bill rips up a contract imposed on 55,000 Canadian Union of Public Employees education workers and deems it to never have been in force, allowing the parties to negotiate a new contract
Laura Walton, president of Ontario School Board Council of Unions, an affiliate of CUPE that represents the workers, said the parties started talking last week, and were “far apart” in reaching a negotiated deal. The possibility of the union issuing another five-day strike notice would be determined in the “next few days” depending on the progress of negotiations, she said.
Mr. Ford’s unprecedented move too fast-track legislation sparked widespread condemnation in the labour movement, including from private-sector unions that the government counts as supporters, as well as from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. The use of the notwithstanding clause in the legislation allowed the government to insulate laws that violate a long list of rights from court challenges.

Mark Hancock, CUPE’s national president, said on Monday that no government had ever scrapped its own legislation as quickly as Mr. Ford did with Bill 28. The contract that the government had sought to impose unilaterally in the strike-ban legislation last week included 2.5-per-cent annual wage hikes for workers earning less than $43,000, and 1.5-per-cent increases for those earning more – much lower than the union’s demands.
