CUPE Response to Court of King’s Bench Decision
Share
EDMONTON, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CUPE Alberta President Rory Gill had the following statement in regard to the injunction against the Minister of Education’s order.
“We are pleased with the Court’s decision today. All children have the right to learn and the Minister’s order was unjust and cruel.
We are heartened by the court’s refusal to order the use of replacement workers as a means to resolve the issue.
There remains one solution open to the Government of Alberta – come to the bargaining table, give education support workers the wage increases they deserve, and end the strike.”
