These are difficult times to be a student at one of Ontario's colleges or universities. The provincial government is contributing less, it's frozen tuition for more than six years, and the federal government has cut way back on international student visas, depriving the system of hundreds of millions of dollars it was counting on to keep the lights on. If you've got a kid in post-secondary or are a student there yourself, what are the implications of this perfect storm? David Agnew, who's been president of Seneca Polytechnic since 2009, joins Steve Paikin to discuss. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Recent data shows the average scores of Grade 12 students have risen significantly in the past 15 years. Universities in Ontario have seen an increase in applicants with averages over 90 per cent. Experts have speculated that such a spike could be resulting from educational changes like de-streaming and the growth of online learning, a shifting perceived value of post-secondary education, or a new generation of tech-savvy students. Are students just smarter, or working harder? Is grade inflation damaging? If grades no longer distinguish students, what will?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Ontario government has introduced Bill 98, the Better Schools and Student Outcomes Act, which gives the ministry more power over school boards. Mike Ramsay, school trustee for Waterloo Region District School Board and Cathy Abraham, president of Ontario Public School Boards' Association, join Steve Paikin to give their response to the bill.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Ontario eduction, we want to reward students who work hard in their spare time to develop other skills such as playing a musical instrument, joining the choir, or becoming good dancers. But we also want to ensure that all kids, regardless of their circumstances, get a chance to experience those enriching activities, too. Can that be done? Can we have both merit and equity in public education?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Michelle McQuigge of the Canadian Press shares the latest news on the education strike in Ontario. From the November 7, 2022 episode.

In this episode we report on the defiance of Ontario education workers to draconian back-to-work legislation passed by the Ontario government and interview workers on the picket lines who speak about why they are fighting. The GoFundMe campaign for grocery funds for CUPE OSBCU education workers referred to in the podcast can be found here

This week on rabble radio, we're sharing an interview between CUPE Ontario President Fred Hahn and rabble editor Nick Seebruch. The two spoke on Nov. 2 to explain what's at stake in the labour dispute in Ontario.  At the time of this episode's posting, CUPE has announced that it will strike on Friday, Nov. 4 and OPSEU – the Ontario Public Services Employees Union – says its 8000 education workers will join them. The Ontario Federation of Labour has also taken to social media to share their support for CUPE.  But how did we get here?  To recap, CUPE Ontario has been negotiating with the Ford government, trying to secure better pay for its educational support workers. As Marc Belanger explained on a special RadioLabour episode this week, when inflation is taken into account, the lowest paid educational worker in Ontario has seen their wages effectively cut by 11 per cent since 2012.  CUPE has been seeking a wage increase of $3.25 per hour in each year of a three year collective agreement.  On Sunday, October 30th, 97% of CUPE Ontario's 55,000 education workers voted to give the Ford government the legally necessary five day notice of a potential provincial-wide strike should their wage demands not be met.  Despite a long week at the bargaining table, the Ford government was not to be persuaded.  On Thursday evening, the Ford government passed Bill 28 which imposes a new work contract on educational support workers with a pay increase of 2.5 per cent, well below the rate of inflation.  Ford invoked the Constitution's notwithstanding clause which allows the provincial government to override part of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and bypass the union's right to bargain and strike. The use of the notwithstanding clause means that Bill 28 cannot be challenged in court. In doing so, Judy Rebick says the Ford government has effectively called a “class war against unions.” CUPE president Laura Walton has pledged that their members will strike on Friday, November 4 and that the strike will continue "for as long as it takes." The Ontario Federation of Labour took to social media saying: “Doug Ford and Stephen Lecce have declared war on 1 million union members, 7 milllion workers, 14 million Ontarians. Get ready to fight.”  This is a developing story.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Tempers flared in the Ontario Legislature on Wednesday during the ongoing debate on Premier Doug Ford's attempted use of the controversial notwithstanding clause to try and block Friday's planned education workers' strike. The outcome lead to 18 NDP MPP's being kicked out of legislature. GUEST: Bhutila Karpoche, MPP for Parkdale-High Park, Critic Early Childhood Development, GTA Issues and Childcare. She was one of the 16 MPPs booted yesterday - Things are escalating in the labour dispute between the Ford Government and it's 55 thousand educations workers represented by CUPE.

GUEST: Stephen Lecce, Minister of Education - The “triple threat” of a bad flu season, COVID-19 and the resurgence of a childhood viral illness is putting a strain on the health system, Ontario's top doctor said Wednesday,with a decision on masking recommendations possibly coming in a couple of weeks.

Why are they unraveling? GUEST: Jeff Manishen, Criminal Lawyer, Ross & McBride/ Former Crown Attorney

In an attack on the entire labour movement, the Ontario government has tabled back-to-work legislation against Ontario workers before the strike has even started, and is using the notwithstanding clause to push through this unconstitutional attack. This week, Joel is joined by custodian and organizer with the CUPE 4400 Rank-and-File Group, Hermes Azam, to talk about what needs to happen for the labour movement to fight back against this attack.

This week, Ontario's education minister Stephen Lecce preempts a work stoppage by invoking the notwithstanding clause, Premier Doug Ford and Deputy Premier Sylvia Jones officially file their legal challenge to avoid testifying at the Emergencies Act inquiry, and provinces demand more money for health care from the feds. Co-hosts Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath discuss the how and the why of it.

55,000 CUPE education workers may be forced to strike on November 4, 2022, to win decent wages and quality public services for students. Comments by the president of CUPE's Ontario School Boards Council of Unions, Laura Walton. RadioLabour is the international labour movement's radio service. It reports on labour union events around the world with a focus on unions in the developing world. It partners with rabble to provide coverage of news of interest to Canadian workers.

Ontario's education workers are given the go-ahead to walk off the job. But will they? Where have all the workers gone. Employers struggle to fill jobs. Market watchers say part of the gap's been caused by an extraordinary number of workers choosing retirement. And the Now and Next team reached out to Loblaw for clarity on the grocer's plan to freeze prices on No-Name products. We got an answer. At best it was an automated bot response. At worst, some human answered without understanding our request.Time Codes:03:36 - Ontario Education workers win the communications game in their contract stand off with the province.06:41 - Both sides are far apart on their proposals. Is there room for optimism in these talks?12:41 - A lot of workers are starting to circle dates on the calendar. Get ready for the “great retirement”23:56 - We invited Loblaw's to join the show to talk about plans to freeze prices.
