Finally, a good news story. The law included healthcare and education workers, including teachers.
'Ontario Premier Doug Ford's law that imposed wage restraint on public sector workers violated their collective bargaining rights and is unconstitutional, the province's Appeal Court ruled Monday.
The law, known as Bill 124, capped salary increases for public sector workers to one per cent a year for three years.'
@edutooters As I argued, again and again, the government has not been spending the allocated funds for education, and despite this has instituted significant cuts to education using the discourse of 'scarce resources'.
In Ontario, and Canada generally, it is very hard to argue scarce resources for education. It is most always a policy choice and lack of political will to adequately fund education.
Today's ruling shows that. Very good but very sad.
