Ontario public high school teachers to take strike votes

The Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation issued a statement Tuesday morning saying it has “no choice” but to take a step towards job action – a little over a week after the union first began negotiating with the Progressive Conservative government.

“They are simply refusing to engage in meaningful discussions about the most important issues,” OSSTF president Harvey Bischof said. “Through five days of bargaining they’ve brought absolutely nothing of substance to the table.” While members will vote on whether to give the union a strike mandate by Nov. 15, it doesn’t automatically mean that teachers will walk off the job.OSSTF represents 60,000 public high school teachers, occasional teachers, education assistants, early childhood educators, social workers and university support staff.

Here we go again, don't say it's for the students or it's for the interests of the education.

Fire them all. Home school your kids.

Good! They should not let government(s) to just ignore their needs, while continuing to make even deeper cuts! I’m sorry for the kids, that a possible strike might affect, but it’s not just today’s students that will suffer, if the government continues down this path.

Strike for climate not for more money! What good is it to get more money if it will all burn. Your students are watching and taking note, & looking for the Canadian Greta T. Which just may be a first nations boy!

What else is new..its a tradition with these so entitled ones
