Ontario’s Court of Appeal released its decision Monday on the controversial Bill 124, finding the law that would cap public sector workers’ wages to be unconstitutional.
The Court voted 2 -1 in favour of labour groups and unions who challenged the 2019 law.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative government enacted the law in 2019 as a measure to reduce a deficit. Claiming that the salary cap on unionized and non-unionized public sector workers would save the province $9.7 billion.
