Ontario public high school teachers are scheduled to hold a strike mandate vote in November after bargaining with the province stalls. The Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) says its members will vote from Nov. 6 to Nov. 16. If approved, the vote would indicate whether teachers are willing to take strike action.
Other major education unions in Ontario are also moving forward with their own strike-related votes during the same period. City News Toronto reports that the broader set of unions representing different school sectors will seek direction from their members this fall. Global News similarly says strike votes are planned by four other major unions, including those representing elementary teachers and Catholic teachers. The articles frame the votes as a next step while negotiations have not produced an agreement.
Across the outlets, the focus is on timing and union process: OSSTF’s specific voting window is highlighted, while the additional unions’ participation is described more generally. None of the sources provides details of any specific bargaining proposal or an announced settlement at the time of reporting.
