The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario has advised the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association and the provincial government that its teachers and occasional teachers will be taking provincewide strike action as of Monday, May 11.
The union announcement was made early Tuesday after the union issued automated calls to teachers Monday night advising them to prepare for various measures that could include work-to-rule initiatives, a boycott of standardized testing (EQAO exams) and even picket lines.
“We are not going to comment on strike action details publicly until we’ve had an opportunity to communicate with all our members this week,” said Sam Hammond, president of the Elementary Teacher’s Federation of Ontario (EFTO). “What’s important to realize is that the government and OPSBA want to layer on more bureaucracy into the education system, and compromise the ability of teachers to do what’s best for our students.”
The union, which represents 76,000 teachers in Ontario, is arguing that the government is removing class size limits from collective agreements, which could result in larger class sizes, becoming more directive about how teachers should spend their preparation time and is attempting to change hiring practices which could affect its members.
The union wouldn’t make any more specific comments in regards to its plans Tuesday.
Some teachers in the Ontario Secondary School Teacher’s Federation (OSSTF), particularly those in Peel Region, have been on strike for weeks now, putting the school year in jeopardy for some.
More to come.
