TEACHER’S UNION SAYS GOVERNMENT VIOLATED BARGAINING RULES OVER READING MEMO

The union representing elementary school teachers in Ontario has filed a complaint with the province’s labour relations board, accusing the government of failing to act in good faith by issuing new requirements related to reading screenings while bargaining is ongoing.

The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, which is in negotiations with the province over a new collective agreement, said the government violated its bargaining obligations over a memo it released on July 28.
