If passed, the draconian legislation will fine individuals who fail to comply up to $4,000 a day and the union C$500,000 for striking.
The premier of Canada’s Ontario province, Doug Ford, has come under fire over a “draconian” bill to fine school support staff C$4,000 a day for going on strike.
The legislation will prevent and prohibit a strike or lockout during the term of the contract, invoking the notwithstanding clause in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to accomplish this goal. CUPE had called for an 11.3 per cent raise for its workers – often the lowest paid in schools – arguing that stagnant wage growth and high inflation have hit the lowest earners hardest.
With the ongoing negotiations and a planned strike, the government fast-tracked Bill 28. If passed, the draconian legislation will fine Individuals who fail to comply up to $4,000 a day and the union C$500,000 for striking.
