Province Tables Legislation to Repeal Law That Banned Education Workers from Going on Strike

Law sparked outrage from labour activists across the country.

The province has tabled legislation to repeal a law that imposed a contract on education workers and banned them from going on strike. 

However, thousands of custodians, librarians and education assistants walked off the job anyway, shutting down schools for two days. 

Last week, union members returned to work after Premier Doug Ford promised to get rid of the legislation. 

Both parties have since returned to the bargaining table.
