Gotta love unions, always working for the public good..

A school strike in September, wow, what perfect timing.

Quote:

"...8,000 cleaners, food service staff and registration officers..."

"...the schools had offered to increase the average salary to more than $59,000 a year..."

Well, I guess Andy will be happy.

Yup... throw them out and give contracts to the private sector... you'll see the average salary drop by half.

Gotta love how the union is paying for radio spots, claiming that they're trying to protect jobs for future graduates.

Typical union bullshit. Nobody for a second thinks you're doing this for the future of your students or Ontario workers in general.

Don't know anything about this situation. But you guys should have learned by now that during negotiations you can't take either side's comments to the media at face value. Does sound like they get paid pretty well tho.
