The province is on tenterhooks tonight waiting to see what the Premier, school boards and elementary teachers will do Monday, November 2, 2015. As everyone knows, Ms. Wynne is on record as saying she will authorize the boards to dock teachers pay if the public schools are not running normally tomorrow at 9 a.m. Countless writers have stated the truth. The conduct of the union, the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario, is wholesale robbery of the public as teachers continue to collect pay while effectively shirking their work. The conduct of the government has aided and abetted this irresponsible behaviour at the secondary level by handing over millions dollars to the unions for “expenses”. When did a union’s expenses become a cost to the public? There is really only one word for it. Scandalous. We know there are many teachers who are embarrassed and unhappy by their union’s position. Can they find their voice?
