Union Ready For Court Challenge


Unions say they'll go to court if proposed legislation imposing new contracts on teachers becomes law.

The presidents of the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation and CUPE Ontario say the bill strips away collective bargaining rights.

The unions are planning a rally at the Ontario legislature Tuesday.

The legislation is expected to come before MPPs at the Queen's Park Monday.
