Ontario’s Appeal Court is set to release its ruling next week on a 2019 provincial wage law that capped salary increases for public-sector workers to one-per-cent a year for three years.
Labour groups and unions representing hundreds of thousands of public-sector employees challenged the law, known as Bill 124, and the Ontario Superior Court in late 2022 found it infringed collective bargaining rights, striking it down as unconstitutional.
The government appealed and the case was heard in June, and the Appeal Court says its decision will be released on Monday.
Labour leaders and opposition critics have repeatedly called for the law to be repealed, and for the government to stop pursuing an appeal.
