Why 5 Ontario Education Unions Served Notice to Bargain with Doug Ford’s Government At the Same Time
OSBCU President Joe Tigani explains why Ontario's education unions are getting ready for a labour battle with Doug Ford
Five of Ontario’s Education Unions representing over 250,000 workers have served notice to the province to begin bargaining ahead of next school year, in a move some are calling “unprecedented.”
Union leaders involved in the announcement have described this announcement as an opportunity for a quarter of a million education workers to say “enough is enough” regarding the chronic understaffing and underfunding of public education.
Joe Tigani, president of the Ontario School Board Council of Unions (OSBCU) joins PressProgress Ontario reporter Eric Wickham to talk about what is at stake for public education ahead of this next round of bargaining.
