Schools reopened Tuesday after a two-day strike by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), which has about 55,000 members.
The protest came after negotiations with the province were scrapped and the government passed Bill 28, which uses the non-applicability clause to override the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to force a contract on workers.
The legislation also made it illegal to strike.
Ford promised on Monday to scrap the bill if CUPE workers end their strikes and return to the table.
The union accepted the offer and negotiations are expected to resume on Tuesday morning.
Laura Walton, president of CUPE’s Ontario School Board Union Council, said yesterday that the organization has moved the government to change its mind about the use of the invalid clause.
He added that he hoped a deal could be reached “now that this draconian legislation has been removed”.
The two parties have yet to agree on the contentious issue of wages.
CUPE asked for an annual pay rise of 11.7% over four years, but last week said their latest offer was about half of what was originally proposed.
The government, meanwhile, has put an annual wage increase of 2.5 percent for those making less than $43,000 and 1.5 percent for all other employees on the table.
That wage increase was locked in using House Bill 28 last week.
CUPE members have been without a collective agreement since August 31.
The union is still in a legal position to strike but will have to give five days’ notice of any further action.
