The agreement comes after a weekend of intensive negotiations between the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the province.
“There will be no job action tomorrow,” the union’s bargaining team said in a Tweet. “Our members will be reporting to schools to continue supporting the students that we are proud to work with.”Few details have been released about what is included in the tentative agreement; however CUPE has previously said the government had come to the table with a 3.59 per cent wage increase for workers.
This is an increase from their previous offer, which included a 2.5 per cent annual raise for workers who make under $43,000 and a 1.5 per cent yearly wage increase for those who make more. It was this contract that was mandated onto workers in Bill 28—also known as the “Keeping Students in Class Act”—which also made it illegal for workers to go on strike.
Both sides had agreed to a 5 p.m. Sunday deadline to come to an agreement in order to avert a strike that would have impacted thousands of students, parents and workers.“The biggest beneficiary of this deal is our kids, who are going to have some stability and be able to stay in school,” he said. “We are grateful to all parties for working with the government.This is a breaking news story. More to come.

Check this Ford gives himself and Lecce 85% wage increase but we’re losing education workers because they don’t want to budge with education workers who are actually serving the students daily.
How much will this labor agreement cost our great-grand children?
Till tomorrow
All this mess for $1 per hour? Holding gour children hostsge in negotiations. Pitiful by both parties
You are the best politician.
All educational institutions & education workers should be considered ESSENTIAL SERVICE by the government just like healthcare professionals & first responders. Strikes hurt kids!
Lecce stood up for the tax payers and students. Thank You.
I think in the state the country is in that maybe this is not the time to ask for such things when so many are already on the verge of losing it all !
Thank you Stephen - great work keeping those unions in check. Standard is now set for future education union negotiations.
Until they vote
NOVaccinePassports
Too bad, lock em out and start the process to full privatization.
No money for more workers and a dollar an hour raise? I smell a NO vote coming and a strike to soon follow
'tentative'💀
Get back to work you lazy bums
The ball is in the union's court now. If they fail to ratify and since a no board report has already been filed, you can lock them out.
CdnMediaFailed. How about covering the truth here. After weeks of fighting for Ontario education and our kids’ safety CUPE finally squeezes out an acceptable deal from fordnation’s callous, corrupt, lazy, incompetent Cons.
It's not over yet for the kids, next is the public teachers and so on.
Time to put the public back in the education system. No more unions extorting money from taxpayers and eroding kids’ education. We want better value for our taxpayer buck.
Full thanks to CUPE. Lecce did nothing but photo ops and tweets. Sflecce
A win for the parents!! Now the next pack of union hyenas will come circling
I’m surprised.
aoolces Best. News. Ever!! 🎉👏🏼🥳
Please remember to vote in the next election & continue to keep fordnation accountable. This is no longer the CPC_HQ that prioritized the needs of a Democratic country .The CPC_HQ only care o about wealthoverheath of a few
Lecce thinks it's a great deal cause it doesn't dip into his cash & free meals, plus huge raise on $165000 plus yearly income, housing allowance cause it cost to much. I'm a single parent my rents high but I don't get housing allowance. I'm a taxpayer my money goes to education.
Hundreds of thousands of schoolchildren in Ontario are disappointed they have classes this morning. 😋
3.6% holy moly. Squeaky wheel gets the grease…
CUPE- he's buttering you up for the kill.
Lecce is a hero
Yet the head millennial female for the union was on TV moaning about it...LOL
I don’t know owner mask.
Important thing is kids are in school. I’m curious how bad the deal actully was that the CUPE agreeed on
Not necessarily. If the workers don't vote to accept, it can go back to bargaining or back to a strike. Not out of the woods yet.
Still a vote to go. Bet it's no.
What happens next if members vote no? Is a strike back on the table?
I thought we did this a few weeks ago
you sir need resign right now
Sflecce SHOULD HAVE DONE HIS JOB MONTHS AGO. HE'S INCOMPETENT. ONTARIO DESERVES BETTER
Douche bag
Did Lecce finally do his job?
Abolish the union
I think the union try to dodge the bullet because they realize whats ahead of them.
Yes, but it has to be voted on first!!!! We will see..
IdontstandwithCUPE
Extortion and holding children hostage works
I don’t like the word “tentative”
It's not a done deal. The members have to RATIFY IT!!! I DOUBT THEY WILL
I would have fired them all
Same time next year for the teachers strike?
Now can CUPE not disrupt a school year for at least 5 years? I bet they’ll be striking again within the next two years.
Turn it down CUPE
It’s all about the kids, CUPE 😂🤣
Just remember when your pay cheque goes lower, it’s because of this.
praying on the snow day ngl
Tentative. Key word here..... We'll go through this shit next week as well when they want more.
justsayno wontbackdown CUPEStrong workerpower FireLecce voteNO
They didn’t reach a deal.They accepted what was already offered -the only other choice was to go on strike. CUPE went high and Sflecce went low. CUPE is the one that cares about kids. Now it’s time for CupeMembers to vote it down and show this govt exactly how they feel
Sick and tired of unions and all this corruption. Our kids are the ones who surfer all the time. Time to put them in a private school.
Tull next time when there's another one....
It's a tentative deal people, the government did and does jack shit. They will vote it down which they should, can't even bother showing up to the table 95% of the time. Boo hoo my taxes will go up, boo hoo your kids won't get fuck all for support either.
See what happens when you communicate with those who have differing points of view. Paging Mr. Trudeau...
WOULD THIS MAYBE THE CAUSE OF INFLATION GREEDY POWERFUL UNIONS MEANWHILE US NOBODYS JUST PAY MORE TO LIVE PERHAPS?
Those poor students...
Congrats CUPE and Lecce. Let's focus on a clean slate and rebuilding bridges. Let's not get all bitter and still snipe at each other. Both sides got a deal hopefully the workers approve.
ahhhh shit
Great... How much are my taxes going to be raised?
CUPE made the right decision here. If the government wasn’t going to move on extra supports for classrooms then CUPE losses the public’s support if they decided to strike over this issue. Leachy will make them look like the bad guys
Its all about the money, kids are collateral damage.
I’m sure it won’t pass the members vote and I’m sure it’s no different than their last offer. Public needs to see the govt doesn’t want to bargain
So for another 9 days?
Nut up and strike tomorrow. Kids off and decided already.
If they don't vote for it, it's time to contract out some of the services like janitorial.
I don’t understand parents who want to pay the least amount for childcare yet mobilize to get paid the most themselves.
I guess I’ll return the winter strike boots I just bought.
Oh the glory of it all!!!!! Taxpayers get to pay more for squat in return👎👎👎👎👎
At least common sense prevailed. The kids need to stay in school.
Averted for now. Members will vote NO to this terrible Tentative Agreement. Guaranteed! VoteNo FireLecce IStandWithCUPE FordFailedOntario FordFailedSchools
Uh, has to be voted on and it shall not pass.
ETFOeducators EMBARRASSMENT TO CHILDREN
So let me get this straight... Two days of disruption to enforce unions right to strike in order to leverage what they want. End result: $1. Seems legit.
🥳👏🥳🥳👏🥳👏🥳👏🥳👏🥳👏🥳👏🥳👏🥳 Lecce did it!!! 🥳 🥳🥳🥳🥳 For once he got something done 😂
pull a quick one and give us another week
B.S deal! The government gave us nothing ! Our union should be out striking!
Will they guarantee an ECE in every kindergarten classroom?
Next up…teachers. Don’t get too excited
I will give CUPE till Tues to present NEW demands or they strike in 5 days
Good. The next major decision should be to make public education an essential service. It's extremely disappointing to see out kids used as pawns in bargaining. It's wrong.
Teachers will be next demanding excessive pay raise. Apparently our broke government has deep pockets. Feel sorry for todays children, let’s saddle them with this huge debt.
Oh, so you can negotiate a deal if you try. Nice.
Next year: wHy iS fOrD cUtTinG sErVicEs
No extra services to students, I vote NO
With the CUPE deal on the table being voted on, will more attention turn to the Ford under the table Greenbelt deal? onpoli ontario
👍👍
Nothin like last minute theatre! My kid will not be going tomorrow. Had to make arrangements and I can't change them. Day off for her🥰
If they really wanted to keep kids in school like they profess then they had better deal fairly or we will be right back here.
So they got their way ?
Why is Black Friday a half month long event in Canada? Tired of seeing stores stealing this concept from the USA. Overplayed.
You mean back in class until next week when they want something else..
Sick of this Yo-yo game! My kid will just do his work at home tommorow! His work is posted on google classroom.
BREAKING government folds like a cheap lawn chair & puts us us one step closer to a recession…
Those poor children used as leverage again by CUPE
All I see is Cupe workers with negative comments about the deal. Funny how there’s zero about the kids and not missing more time. Once again, it’s never about the actual students.
Well done deal done 👏👏👏👏
BROOOOOOOO
I was expecting no school tomorrow, this announcement ruined my evening 😞
yo smd the teachers and the students dont wanna go to school and u dont get to choose when we go to school, i do
Not till we vote good luck..
Way to go Doug & team :)
Lecce needs to resign.
Fire them all instead!! Greedy unions!
Lecce f’d this whole process up with a small education union. Wait till the teachers get this shit head to the table. God bless CUPE.
Hate you all
Couldn’t just let me have the 4 day weekend?
More pay for them means more taxes for y’all! Be glad and rejoice
Now its time for the membera to vote out the union and ita leaders representing them as they are the ones that showed their true greedy and disorganized management of these nagotiatiatikn resulting in MANY PARENTS NOW HATING YOU FOR YOUR ACTIONS. cupenat
They're gonna go on strike.the money isn't the issue now it's the fact the have no added services for the students.
I can imagine what he gave up to get a deal
Breaking news it’s a done deal here we go no strike on Monday
So like every other union negotiation in the history of union negotiations....both sides made a stink, stomped their feet for a few weeks, came to an agreement and we'll all forget this even happened a year from now?
Only tentative. CUPE doesn’t sound very positive.
Who folded?
Great news for parents. If the education workers go on strike after withdrawal 'notwithstanding clause, ' they would lose the parent's support, and then it's all about the fat raise.
Should’ve let it happen till Christmas break! And then the teachers are up by then
Ontarians see deliberate attempts to decimate health care and education to justify privatization. Their profit-driven greed will be their undoing. Keep up the booing and demand answers for the next 3 1/2 years. The sleeping giant has awoken.
Bro, online school isn’t even that bad
and he came for a 5 second victory lap
Woo-Hoo!!!
They held you children hostage suburban moms. CUPE is the villian. Now your taxes go up to pay for their greed.
IStandWithCUPE
Agreement in place, now all the parents who hate education workers can send their kids back to school so they can be in their care.
The most important outcome is great news for kids which wasn’t the most important thing to either party. Unions will be rubbing their hands together now. Use the kids as leverage and you will eventually get what you want.
SIUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
better be hiring some more staff Sflecce
bro i have a test tmrw cmon you couldn’t just strike a for a day or two
Yeah! Back to a 'normal' school week based on Lecce's last 3 years: - staff & student absences from Covid - no contingency plans for staff shortages - cancel classes - reassign non-homeroom teachers - reassign students who don't have a teacher - recruit more unqualified staff
nah u man are acc selling me now i gotta study for a whole ass history test i thot i didnt have to do
Keyword tentative 🫤
Lol announcement made because the MOE is late to his own press conference
damn
Ford caves again!
So is their school tomorrow?
Thanks god
