Construction, public service employees and labourers are all part of the Ontario Council of Education Workers providing services to schools and boards.
To that end, OPSBA President Cathy Abraham says a tentative deal has been inked between the council, the provincial government and the Council of Trustees’ Associations.
She says education workers play an important role in the day-to-day operations of schools.
Abraham says the details of the agreement remain confidential until ratified by all parties.
Negotiations between the government and the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation continue.
OCEW is composed of:
- COPE Ontario
- Educational Resource Facilitators of Peel
- Essex and Kent Counties Skilled Trades Council
- Labourers’ International Union of North America
- Maintenance and Construction Skilled Trades Council
- Ontario Public Service Employees Union
- Unifor
OPSBA continues to negotiate with the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation.
For this negotiation, the CTA is a partnership between the Ontario Catholic School Trustees’ Association and the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association.
