Ontario’s French-language public school teachers will kick off 2024 with a strike vote.
Teachers will cast their ballots from January 24th to 26th to decide whether to give their union a strike mandate after nearly a year and a half of bargaining.
Union president Anne Vinet-Roy says the government is insisting on proposals — quote — “that will add to teachers’ workloads and worsen the critical staff shortages” threatening the French-language education system.
As well, the Association des enseignantes et enseignants franco-ontariens is asking for a conciliator to help move contract negotiations forward.
