After months of strikes, Ontario engineers have a tentative deal with the government, promising stability and support for workers and families.
The Ford government announced this agreement, which, if approved, will last for four years. They say it’s a win for workers and their families, and it shows they’re committed to keeping things stable in the public sector.
The Professional Engineers Government of Ontario (PEGO) is excited about this too. They’ll be sharing the details with their members soon. These engineers play a big role in important projects like highways and environmental testing, so this deal is crucial.
Since summer, PEGO has been ramping up their strike actions to push for a better deal. They even pulled engineers from major projects like Highway 413. It’s been a big deal, especially since this was PEGO’s first strike in 35 years!
They’re really focused on making sure there’s enough support for public-sector engineering and land surveying. It’s all about making sure they can keep doing their jobs well and advocate for their members’ needs.
