School union leaders with the Canadian Union of Public Employees are supporting job action by their members when students return to class next month.
They say they’ll use it as a call for a restoration of funding to education.
It also follows CUPE’s request for a conciliator in contract talks with the province.
Those talks started in May and are set to resume.
The union is planning a strike vote September 17th if no deal is reached by then.
CUPE represents about 55-thousand education workers including education assistants, custodians, school secretaries and library workers across Ontario.
Hundreds of school board leaders from Ontario’s largest union gathered near Toronto yesterday to give their resounding support for a job action plan that has at its heart the protection of education services for students.@osbcucscso https://t.co/ytHFTQcVaS
