A union representing about 55,000 striking education workers in Canada’s most populous province has said it will end its walkout after Ontario Premier Doug Ford promised to rescind contentious back-to-work legislation if the union agreed to end the strike.
Laura Walton, president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees’ (CUPE) Ontario School Board Council of Unions, said on Monday that workers “will be collapsing [their] protest sites starting tomorrow”.
