Doug Ford Has 'Improved Offer' For CUPE Workers
/Ontario Premier Doug Ford said the provincial government is ready to stop fighting with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) and has an ‘improved offer’ for education workers at the negotiation table at a press conference in Queen’s Park on Tuesday morning.
Ford declined to speak about what the improved offer was immediately after stating that his government has an offer.
This comes a day after promising to rescind Bill 28 which took away their rights to strike and made it illegal. Ford stated on Monday that he was willing to revoke the bill if CUPE agreed to cease all strike/protest action.
We’re willing to do whatever it takes to keep children in class.

I’m urging CUPE, please show the same willingness to work together as we have today. End the strikes. pic.twitter.com/mOy5dxyFBF
