The Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association, which represents Catholic elementary and high school teachers, will hold talks this Wednesday and Thursday. The union is in a legal strike position as of Aug 17.
The unions have been trying to reach new contracts with the group that negotiates on behalf of the government, to try to avert a strike before classes begin in September.
As for public elementary teachers, the union says that no talks have been scheduled.
The contracts for all Ontario teachers expired last August.
