Ontario taxpayers owe $4.3 million due to legal losses over an unconstitutional wage-cap law.

Ontario's wage-restraint law, Bill 124, twice declared unconstitutional, is now repealed.

The law, capping salary increases at 1% for public sector workers, sparked a health-care staffing crisis and violated collective bargaining rights.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has agreed to repeal a law imposing wage restraint on public sector workers after an Appeal Court ruling declared it unconstitutional.

Ford believes that measures like this should be decided by governments, not the courts, but he respects the ruling.

Ontario faces over $6 billion in payments to public sector workers due to Bill 124 being found unconstitutional.

Arbitrators have been awarding retroactive pay increases above the one per cent cap, leading to larger costs for the government.

Ontario's top court will rule on the constitutionality of a law limiting raises for public sector workers.

The law, known as Bill 124, sparked outrage and was found unconstitutional by the Ontario Superior Court.

Arbitrators have awarded retroactive pay to workers affected by the law, straining budgets of hospitals.

Public high school teachers and elementary teachers in Ontario will receive additional retroactive salary increases to compensate for constrained wages under Bill 124.

The arbitrator has awarded an additional 2.75% salary increase for the third year, on top of the 0.75% increase in each of the first two years.

The Ontario court has declared Bill 124 unconstitutional, but the government has appealed and a ruling is expected on Monday.
