Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Ontario president Sid Ryan has called off province-wide political action scheduled to begin at midnight last night.

"We have had good, productive, constructive discussions with the government during the course of the last 24 hours," Ryan said. "As I and the Premier both said this morning, we have been working hard at a solution that is mutually satisfactory."

While talks are continuing, Ryan said he hopes and expects that they will be concluded shortly.

"We are determined to continue working at this with a view to complete our work today," he said.

"We are working hard to resolve the last few details, however, I am confident enough at this stage to say that we can step down our political protest planned for tomorrow."
