Some 55,000 Ontario education workers will receive salary increases to compensate them for constrained wages under a law known as Bill 124, after the Ontario School Board Council of Unions reached a deal with the province for repayment, the union says.
In a statement released Thursday, the Ontario School Board Council of Unions (OSBCU) said its education workers will receive retroactive salary bumps as a result of its agreement with the province.
“After a very long day of meetings, we are pleased to share that we have reached an agreement with the Crown and CTA regarding remedy for Bill 124,” reads a statement posted Thursday on X, formerly Twitter.
“The ability of the OSBCU to reach this deal in a timely manner is directly related to the worker power that has been built over the last year and continues to build today.”
An Ontario court has declared it unconstitutional, ruling that it infringes on the workers’ rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining.
Most recently, the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario ratified a new contract last month which included an agreement on a Bill 124 remedy.
