English-board teachers ready to strike

The Upper Canada District School Board said 24 per cent of its buildings have Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete, also known as Siporex.

The Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF/FEESO) held a strike vote, November 18, and received huge support from its membership for a walkout, if there is no satisfaction from the present round of negotiations with the provincial government. Education workers represented by the OSSTF voted 92 per cent in favour of strike action while teachers, both full-time and part-time, gave the union a 95.5 per cent vote of support
