in the middle of a Federal Election
and Ontario is the battle ground which will
probably determine the outcome of the election

'What we want here is pressure'

CUPE is just one of the unions locked in talks with Doug Ford's Progressive Conservative government.

So far, none has been able to reach a deal, raising concern that a widespread school strike could happen this fall.

Hahn said that should a full walkout occur on Monday, CUPE hopes teachers would opt not to cross the picket lines.

"That would be ideal," Hahn said. "What we want here is pressure to resolve these issues."

Hahn was also asked about whether a strike would impact voting in the upcoming federal election, with hundreds of schools slated to serve as polling stations.

Hahn said Elections Canada will "have to deal with that," but added that CUPE members "won't impede the democratic process."

What an obvious blackmail move

let's make voters mad at the provincial Conservative Government
newly elected
as kids will be out of school and daycare
will be a nightmare for many

totally underhanded and deemed scumbags

this should not be allowed
and I hope the new Premier let's them strike until the Election is over

DISGUSTING
