The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) announced today that, in addition to the currently in place, its members will begin Phase 2 on Tuesday, December 10, 2019.
ETFO’s Phase 2 Work-to-Rule Strike Protocol includes, but is not limited to:
- Not planning any new field trips scheduled to occur before June 30, 2020
- Not collecting monies or participating in the electronic collection of monies for school-based activities except those for charitable causes
- Not distributing any memos/letters from a school and/or school board
is available online.
As this job action continues to be a partial withdrawal of services and not a full strike, elementary schools will remain open and instructional programs will continue. However, should the work-to-rule progress to include further sanctions, it may have a more significant impact on school activities, permits and school operations. If there is a full withdrawal of services or a full strike by elementary teachers, the 吃瓜黑料网 would be required to close schools as there would not be a sufficient number of staff to supervise students and ensure their safety.
As a result of the job action, principals and vice-principals in our schools will continue to take on additional tasks. We appreciate the patience and understanding of parents/guardians during this time.
We will continue to update parents/guardians with new information as soon as it becomes available. For ongoing updates, please continue to check and follow on Twitter.
At this time, negotiations between ETFO, OPSBA and the Ontario government continue and we are hopeful that an agreement can be reached soon.
