Ontario’s raging dispute
A new Maru Public Opinion survey released today finds that in the raging dispute and brinksmanship over a new contract, the union representing Ontario’s union representing education workers, including education assistants, custodians, and librarians, has a majority (59%) of support compared to a minority (41%) who side with the provincial government. However, the survey, conducted after both the union and the government agreed to put down their strike, and legislative hammers, reveals no other clear-cut verdict for either party on many elements of the dispute as they return to the negotiating table.
