The union representing the province’s public English elementary school teachers is expected to announce today whether its members have voted in favour of a strike mandate amid negotiations with the province.
On Tuesday, the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario wrapped up a series of strike votes held across the province over the past month and the union is expected to announce the results later today.
Lecce said that OSSTF members “overwhelmingly” supported the province’s proposal, noting that eight in 10 members voted in favour of it. “We once again call on the government to respect our right to free and fair collective bargaining, and come to our bargaining tables prepared to engage in meaningful discussions about critical issues facing publicly funded education in Ontario – issues such as increased violence in schools, resources and supports for student mental health, teachers’ use of professional judgement, and addressing the teacher shortage.
More than half of respondents said they would support the use of legislation to stop teachers from going forward with strikes that would result in school closures. It should be noted that online polls do not provide a margin of error.
