TORONTO – Unionized education workers say they will announce the results of Ontario-wide ratification votes on Monday.
The 55,000 members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees and government reached a tentative central agreement a month ago.
Under the deal, the custodians, early childhood educators and clerical staff will get a one per cent wage increase.
The agreement also calls for millions of dollars in government funding to restore as many as 1,500 jobs the Ford government cut.
