York CAS On Strike

About 180 workers at the York Region Children's Aid Society walked off the job early today in a dispute over workloads and wages.
The Ontario Public Service Employees Union says the workers rejected management's latest offer last Thursday and talks collapsed
on Friday.
More than 400 children could be effected by the walkout, as well as some 1,000 open family case files in the region.
However, the Children's Aid Society has said it has a backup plan in place to ensure children and families are cared for during a walkout.
