Unions Opposing Dalton Days

Ontario government unions don't want any part of Dalton Days.

The premier has raised the idea of unpaid days off for public sector workers to help deal with the province's record $25-billion deficit.

But CUPE, OPSEU and the Ontario Nurses Association say the Liberals should not try to resurrect former NDP premier Bob Rae's idea of unpaid days off -- or Rae Days.

Union leaders say there must be consultations and negotiations.
