Every day, school board workers across the province are experiencing growing levels of violence, in large part due to the underfunding and understaffing crises in public education.A new report, Running on Fumes: Violence, Austerity, and Institutional Neglect in Ontario Schools, chronicles the increase in workplace violence incidents among school board workers across Ontario. CUPE school board workers made up 52 percent of the sample size of those interviewed.
