Union representing school support staff could issue strike notice Friday

We’ll know Friday if school support staff workers will walk off the job on Monday. The union representing 5,500 workers says it will issue a 48-hour strike notice on Friday if a deal isn’t reached with eight regional centres for education. The strike could begin on Monday. CUPE says it’s looking for a $3.50 hourly wage increase over four years. The strike will affect educational assistants, bus drivers, janitors and custodians, cafeteria staff, secretaries and early childhood educators. Contract negotiations are at a standstill.
