The Ontario government has reached tentative labour agreements with unions representing school support workers and teachers in French-language school boards this week, far in advance of their current contracts’ expirations.
Strikes and work-to-rule campaigns in provincially funded schools would explode the Liberal government’s hopes for re-election in 2018. Those hopes are wobbly as it is but a war with teachers’ unions would ruin them utterly. Such a war could still come; three big unions still have negotiations outstanding.
