Ontario could start bargaining at the end of this month with teachers and education workers, whose contracts expire at the end of August
Teachers’ unions have already expressed concerns about a recent education announcement from the government, which includes larger class sizes for grades four to 12.When asked today if he was preparing for the possibility of a strike, Ford said teachers have waged job action against Ontario governments of every stripe, and he says they have to get with the times.
Ford says teachers do a great job and he appreciates them, but says their unions have declared war on the government. He also says an Aug. 31 expiry date for teachers’ contracts – right before kids go back to school – will never happen again under his government.
