Results: Union that represents Ontario public elementary teachers to hold strike vote!
Published on 09/13/2019
Ontario elementary teachers will be asked to vote on a strike mandate at mass meetings held across the province this month and next.
The Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (ETFO), which represents 83,000 public elementary teachers, occasional teachers and educational professionals, will conduct a central strike vote as it discusses bargaining issues with members.
Teachers will be asked to show support for the union's bargaining priorities, including more support for students with special needs, smaller class sizes, protection of full-day kindergarten and "fair and transparent" hiring practices.
