TEACHERS’ UNIONS READY TO ‘MOBILIZE’ IF FORD GOVERNMENT LEGISLATES CONTRACT

Ontario’s teachers’ unions are warning the Ford government that they are ready to “mobilize” if the province imposes a contract on educators or uses the notwithstanding clause to settle any bargaining dispute.

The four unions representing the province’s teachers are in active bargaining with the Ontario government — talks that are only now starting to ramp up months after the contracts expired at the end of the summer.
