Some Ontario teachers are refusing work over school COVID-19 concernsMary Fraser-Hamilton spent part of last week sitting in her car instead of teaching in her classroom. Fire them: they as public employees were pampered through the covid pandemic and now not refusing to work - enough. Teaching, once a VOCATION, and now a PROFESSION… like so many other professions, they are all about DOING LESS and MAKING MORE! So, very, very sad! They first want the most money in the name of children and now they don’t want to work. WTF!? Ontario has a serious problem all because the law is too soft on these BS.
