CUPE members picket at Ontario MPPs’ offices as indefinite education strike begins
TORONTO — Ontario education workers hit the picket lines Friday morning in the first day of an illegal strike as the education minister takes them to the Ontario Labour Relations Board.
Education workers represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees’ were picketing at politicians’ offices, including hundreds outside the education minister’s constituency office in Vaughan, Ont., along with a large protest planned for the legislature, where hundreds of people were already gathered on the lawn.
