The Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association has suspended all rotating strikes that were set to take place this week. With contract negotiations continuing between the Ontario Government and the union representing the catholic teachers today (Feb 24), OECTA has called off the strikes in hopes that an agreement can be reached.
OECTA has stated that should negotiations cease being productive, further strike action will be announced. In addition, OECTA has indicated that although the full strikes this week have been suspended, the work to rule which has been limiting some operations and activities in the schools will continue.
At this time, for the week of February 24th, it is anticipated that a full week of classes and programs will take place at all schools throughout Elgin County as no strikes are currently scheduled.
