Majority of the Ontario high school teachers have decided to put off job action which would have asked them to skip staff meetings and sit out standardized tests.
The Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation has sent out the instructions to all its members, who are still in a legal strike position for “administrative” job action on Wednesday. The instruction stated that they are to postpone the sanctions until just before midnight Sunday. The union has been working along with the government to negotiate terms in the “interest of going forward and seeking resolutions to the challenges facing the education sector.” The president of OSSTF, Ken Coransaid, stated in a press release on Tuesday that the union has scheduled to attend meeting with government officials on Wednesday to “fast track to potential resolutions.”
The Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation, OSSTF, embodies a large amount of 60,000 members, and comprises of three different unions which are functioning themselves as well to fume over the new anti-strike law brought in by the cash-strapped Liberal government. This new law cuts benefits and freezes the wages of senior teachers.
The bill was passed in the parliament with support of Progressive Conservatives, as they spoke in favor of a law which cuts benefits and freezes wages for the majority of the union members while allowing the younger teachers to keep getting salary increments. Four unions have brought the government to court, posing that the new law is unconstitutional and violates collective bargaining rights.
