Description

Guest: Kris Rushowy, Queen's Park reporter for the Star. This week has seen some unprecedented action in the labour dispute between CUPE and the provincial government. Ontario is passing back-to-work legislation and invoking the notwithstanding clause to get the bill through, which many feel tramples on workers’ rights. CUPE is now planning a walkout on Friday, with their workers facing potentially massive fines in penalties. At the moment, both sides are negotiating, but this is a situation that could have huge ramifications for the labour movement and for education in Ontario for the foreseeable future. This episode was produced by Paulo Marques and Raju Mudhar.
