OSSTF, government could resume bargaining on Monday

The union representing Ontario’s public high school teachers could resume bargaining with the province on Monday.

In a bulletin sent to members of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF), the union said it will be meeting with a mediator from the Ministry of Labour on Sunday for exploratory talks.

If those talks go well, formal bargaining is then expected to resume on Monday.

The bulletin said the talks will cover contracts for both education workers and teachers who are represented by the OSSTF.
