The provincial government is one step closer to total labour peace in the education sector.
Minister Stephen Lecce has announced a tentative agreement with Ontario Council of Educational Workers.
Terms of the contract haven’t been released.
Lecce says the agreement shows their commitment to providing stability to parents, students, and education workers.
This is the fifth tentative contract reached by the government with teachers’ and education workers’ unions.
Two of the deals have been ratified by both sides.
Lecce stresses the time is now to get the two remaining deals done, for the benefit of students.
