Episode: Doug Ford goes to war with education workers
Description: On the latest episode of Inside the Village, we explore the looming labour war between the Ford government and 55,000 of the province’s education workers, including librarians, secretaries and custodians. Paul Gray, an associate professor of labour studies at Brock University, helps us make sense of the Ford government’s back-to-work legislation, the rarely used notwithstanding clause, the rhetoric on both sides of the negotiating table — and what it all means for students and their frustrated parents. Also on the program: a big welcome to the latest addition to our Village, BurlingtonToday.com.
