Canadian government resumes labor negotiations with CUPE and repeals its controversial bill to fine teachers who went on strike
In Ontario, Canada, the government has agreed to resume contract negotiations with CUPE, which represents public school teachers, and has rescinded its proposed bill to enforce a four-year contract and heavily fine teachers for striking. These labor talks are the result of national pressures in opposition of the controversial bill and its potential to erode workers' rights. As the talks are ongoing, both the government and the union have agreed to a media blackout in order to focus on reaching a fair agreement.
