Elementary teachers have reminded all Ontarians that they are going to go on strike in December. They’ll give us “ample notice” before the classrooms go dark but it seems certain that there will be darkness. The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario issued a release saying there are currently work-to-rule strike actions occurring in four Ontario school boards, but “teachers in all other boards will also be in a strike position during December.” When that happens, planned strikes by union locals will “affect operations in each public elementary school throughout the province,” ETFO said. Then there is smarmy stuff in the release about how unfortunate it all is.
