Press Release



On Monday November 30th beginning at 8:00 am Driving Instructors from across Ontario will converge on Queen's Park for a rally in protest of the lingering Drivetest examiner's strike. MPP Frank Klees (Conservative transportation critic), has assured us that he will be speaking on our behalf at Queens Park. Over 10,000 driving instructors and driving school owners have been silently suffering due to the impasse in bargaining which has been going on since August. They are in very serious financial difficulty. They are prepared to take their position to the legislature and confront the liberal government on Monday and rally in support of MPP Jim Wilson's bill to end the strike. MPP Wilson stood in the legislature and said, "Dalton McGuinty has already overseen the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs,… Ontario can't afford to see driving instructors and training schools lay off staff, nor can we support the inability of young people to get a license so they can get a job." The driving instructors of Ontario will be at Queen's Park Nov. 30th to support quick passage of MPP Wilson's bill.
