EDUCATION UNIONS, PROVINCE BEGIN CONTRACT TALKS, SET ADDITIONAL DATES TO BARGAIN

The province and teacher unions have yet to agree on what items will be bargained this summer, but have scheduled more dates to hammer out the issues. 

“Although some progress was achieved, agreement was not reached on either central list during this week’s sessions,” the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario said in a bulletin sent Friday to members, obtained by the Star, referring to issues for the provincial negotiating tables for both the teacher and educational workers it represents.
