Now high school teachers (OSSTF) are talking about a strike

The union representing teachers at high schools across the province says it will be moving forward with strike votes after “months of delays and inaction by the Ontario government.” In a news release issued Tuesday, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) confirmed that strike votes will be held across Ontario in the coming weeks. “The government claims that it wants to resolve these negotiations quickly, but from the beginning they have done nothing to help expedite the process, and now they are simply refusing to discuss substantive issues at the bargaining table,” OSSTF President Harvey Bischof said in a written statement.
