Ontario's educational workers will head back to the bargaining table this weekend amid preparations for a work-to-rule campaign starting Monday.
Talks involving the province and the Canadian Union of Public Employees are set to take place Saturday and Sunday.
Laura Walton, who heads the bargaining unit for the 55,000 education workers, says members are resolved to start their work-to-rule if no deal is reached.
The custodians, clerical workers and early childhood educators say they will stop working overtime and performing any extra duties.
The union has issued a required five days' notice to put it in a legal strike position as of Monday.
Contracts for Ontario's public school teachers and education workers expired August 31st, and the major unions are in various stages of bargaining.
NEWSTALK 1010 has obtained a memo sent from the union to the workers, giving a bettre indication of what a work-to-rule campaign would look like.
Some of the items, we'd been told before, like no overtime or performing any extra duties.
But Educational assistants would no longer help perform safety procedures on the bus, like harnessing and buckling in. That is the bus drivers' job.
They're also not to start class unless a teacher is present and they aren't to help in toileting special education students, unless that student is in the workers assignment.
Custodians won't be cleaning hallways, gyms and libraries and won't pick up garbage outside.
And when it comes to clerical staff, they have been told to not replace paper, clear jams or perform repairs with regards to photocopiers.
