Not Rex: Peel Children's Aid Society workers fight for caseload cap

Peel Children's Aid Society workers have been forced to strike for more than two months. They're on the streets fighting for a cap on the number of cases individual workers have to take on. Workload caps are a standard provision in most children's aid society contracts, but the Peel Children's Aid Society is resisting such caps at all costs. Scabs are being paid $85/hour while Children's Aid Society workers strike for caseload caps virtually everyone else already has.
