The chair of the Ontario Labour Relations Board is considering whether to deem a walkout by thousands of education workers illegal.
Brian O’Byrne has said he hoped to make a decision before the school week begins today, but he’s not sure it can be done.
His deliberations come after three days of lengthy proceedings.
The Canadian Union of Public Employees announced Sunday they intend to hold a media conference this morning (Monday) at 11 a.m. about the growing fightback against the Ford Government’s Bill 28.
The Keeping Students in Class Act was enacted last week and imposed a contract on the 55,000 education workers and prohibited them from walking off the job.
CUPE leadership will be joined by by national and provincial labour leaders including the Canadian Labour Congress and the Ontario Federation of Labour.
This morning, the Ford Government announced that Doug Ford and education Minister Stephen Lecce will be speaking at 9 a.m.
CUPE employees will be protesting again today in two places across Haldimand-Norfolk.
In Haldimand, they will be in Caledonia and in Simcoe they will be marching up and down the Queensway area.
