Tories to support legislation regarding Ontario teachers
Posted by news | Filed under All News Stories, Education, Politics
It appears the minority Liberals’ controversial legislation that will force new contracts on thousands of Ontario teachers will become law. Opposition Leader Tim Hudak says his Tories will support initiatives that agree with the party’s policy of legislating wage public wage freezes. The legislation aims to rein in wages and cut benefits, such as halving sick days to 10 a year, as well as banning lockouts and strikes. Three unions have accepted the agreement, but three others representing 191-thousand workers are vowing to fight the bill.
