OSBCU 2022 Bargaining Update #32

October 30, 2022

We have become aware of a statement from the minister being read on media outlets this morning.  While we have not received a copy of this statement, representatives from the Ministry of Education have reached out to us to facilitate a meeting this afternoon with representatives from the Council of Trustees’ Associations, the Crown and ourselves.

We welcome any opportunity for fulsome discussion that will move these negotiations forward. We will continue our practice of transparency and will update you following our meeting.

OSBCU 2022 Bargaining Update #31

October 30, 2022

CUPE’s Ontario School Board Council of Unions has provided the government and the Council of Trustees’ Association the “5 day notice” of job action this morning in accordance with the School Boards Collective Bargaining Act.

This notice means that CUPE education workers across the province will be on a full withdrawal of services on Friday November 4, 2022 should a deal not be reached.

We view the next 3 days of mediation – November 1, 2, and 3 – to be an opportunity for this government to come to the table to negotiate an agreement that recognizes Education Workers and the vital services that we provide for students, families and our communities.

We have completed our three (3) days of mediation.

The mediator has concluded that the parties are too far apart and the mediation should be adjourned.  He has requested that we reconvene on November 1, 2022 and will be in contact with us prior to us resuming the mediation.

We look forward to you joining us Saturday at 11:30 at the “Hands Off Our Rights” Protest.  It is clear that this government needs to see and hear the power of you the workers and the demands that you have.

Please join us on this Saturday at 11:30 am for our “Hands Of Our Rights” Protest at Toronto Congress Centre, 650 Dixon Rd,  Etobicoke.
