The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) and the Doug Ford government “will spend all weekend at the table” trying to strike a deal that would avert another strike, CUPE’s central bargaining committee said in a statement on Thursday, Nov. 17.
“We urge the government to return with the earnest intention of reaching a fair deal for students, families, and workers,” the statement reads.
CUPE added that both parties have agreed to a deadline of 5 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 20 “so we can provide parents and caregivers as much notice as possible.”
