(3/3) Arguably, the best thing to come out of this ordeal is the incredible show of worker solidarity. Workers and unions across Canada came together to resist the gov't's use of Back to Work legislation that would deprive teachers of their constitutional right to strike. A great demonstration of what we can achieve when we work together ✊
Also just want to point out that we don't need to be facing a constitutional crisis to carry out a general strike 😉

(2/3) The agreement is disappointing.Terms are the same as offered to the Union a few weeks ago, which led to the strike notice and the Ford gov't's hasty tabling of Back to Work legislation. At the table, Gov't refused to budge on CUPE's asks for funding to guarantee services and staffing levels in all schools.

(1/2) After narrowly avoiding a constitutional challenge caused by Ontario gov't's short-sighted use of the notwithstanding clause in the Charter, CUPE and Ontario have reached a tentative agreement regarding education workers across Ontario.
