The union representing elementary school teachers in Ontario is preparing to ask its members for a mandate to strike after a “lack of sufficient progress” in negotiations with the Ford government.
On Monday, the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) announced it would hold in-person meetings to conduct strike votes and “address bargaining issues.”
The meetings, the union said, will be held across Ontario from mid-September to mid-October.
“Enough is enough,” ETFO president Karen Brown said, announcing the impending strike vote.
