ETFO holds province-wide strike

A province-wide strike by ETFO members will affect all public local school boards on Tuesday.

For some Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario members, it's the second day in a row of picketing after Monday's rotating strikes.

Tuesday's action means schools will be closed to elementary students in all public school boards.

Class sizes and a commitment to the current Kindergarten model are just two of the issues.
