TORONTO — Monday marked the start of strike votes for Ontario's public elementary school teachers, with their union and others frustrated with the slow pace of more than a year of bargaining for a new contract.
The Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario is holding in-person strike votes for its members between Monday and Oct. 17, with teachers in various regions voting on different days. The first meetings and votes were set Monday for teachers in the Ottawa-Carleton and Upper Grand school boards.
"A strong strike vote result will help ETFO communicate to the Ford government that they must get serious about bargaining," she wrote in a statement. Since the union filed for conciliation last month, there has been some movement on key issues at the bargaining table, Brown said.
