Based on these amendments the
government asked the judge to adjourn the trial, which is to begin November 18.
But the MGEU and its union partners disagreed that the amendments provided any real
reason to adjourn the proceedings.
Today the government backed down from its latest stalling tactic, by officially withdrawing its motion to adjourn, which means the challenge is going to trial as planned.
“This is good news for public workers in our province today," said MGEU President Michelle Gawronsky. "We believed there was no justification for the Government’s motion to adjourn and we are looking forward to being able to argue our case against Bill 28 in November."
