SooToday cameras stopped to talk to CUPE Union 4148 president, Chrystal Krauter-Maki about premier Ford's recent promise to halt Bill-28.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Monday he is willing to rescind the legislation that imposed a contract on 55,000 education workers and banned them from striking, if the workers' union agrees to end a walkout that's shut many schools since Friday.
Following CUPE's promise to collapse picket lines, Premier Ford's office sent a statement by education minister Stephen Lecce.
"CUPE has agreed to withdraw their strike action and come back to the negotiating table. In return, at the earliest opportunity, we will revoke Bill 28 in its entirety and be at the table," stated Lecce.
