RATIFICATION VOTE SCHEDULED FOR TENTATIVE ETFO DEAL

A ratification vote for Ontario’s 80,000 teachers and occasional public elementary teachers will begin on Monday, December 11.

Members represented by the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (ETFO) reached a tentative contract agreement with the province last week.

Officials told Blackburn Media that online voting will start at 9 a.m., following a telephone town-hall information meeting, and will end at 8 p.m. on Friday, December 15.

Lambton Kent ETFO President Tracie Booth said there are over 800 faculty members impacted locally.
