ON THE STREET: Newmarket students mixed on strike closing schools

Schools in Newmarket and across York Region schools will be closed Friday as a result of the labour dispute between CUPE education workers and the provincial government

Students across York Region will be out of school tomorrow, Nov. 4, as both school boards have closed their buildings due to the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) education workers' strike.

Today, the Ontario Public Service Employees Union says its 8,000 education workers will also walk off the job Friday in solidarity with the 55,000 CUPE workers.

NewmarketToday visited a plaza by Newmarket High School to ask students what they think about the strike and closures.
