Thousands of teachers from all four teachers’ unions in Ontario are picketing at Queen’s Park Friday. The most prominent union talking point is cuts to education. The minister, Stephen Lecce, was interviewed by Mike Crawley of the CBC. He said a recent issue between the unions and the government is a demand that hiring be done according to seniority, something the ministry rejects. Lecce is interviewed by Cynthia Mulligan
