Inside Ontario’s ‘unprecedented’ labour fight

November 8, 2022
|
Joe Fish

Ontario kids will be back in school Tuesday, after the provincial government backed down on its use of the notwithstanding clause to force them into a contract. That's the simple part. But this fight was important well beyond a few days of school—with unions across the country threatening solidarity strikes, sending money to support Ontario's education support workers and generally creating a show of force not seen in decades.

So will the two sides at the heart of this now find a solution? How will Doug Ford's government handle other upcoming labour battles, now that they know how hard the pushback can be? What does this one fight mean for labour in Canada this month and beyond?
