Why Doug Ford backpedaled in the dispute with CUPE

The Decibel

About this episode

In an abrupt reversal, Ontario Premier Doug Ford promised to repeal the legislation that revoked the right to strike for educational workers in the province. That wrapped up the walkout by CUPE members after two days.

But negotiations between this union – and others – continue with the province and so questions remain in terms of how both parties will find a way out of this dispute without another work stoppage. Jeff Gray is one of The Globe’s correspondents at the Ontario legislature and he explains what factored into the swift change of events.
