A looming strike by Ontario's public high school teachers will affect some schools - but not others.
The Algoma District School Board warns - if the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation moves forward with strike plans - then the board will close all of its schools for tomorrow, including not just secondary schools, but elementary schools, as well, since members of the union work at both levels.
Meanwhile, the Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board is assuring that - while it employs about 25 members of the OSSTF - they're noon-hour aides, so the board will keep all of its schools open even if there is a strike.
The union - which started a job action campaign a week ago - says its roughly 60,000 members - who mainly work at English public high schools - will walk off the job tomorrow, as talks have failed to bring about a new collective agreement.
While the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario also launched a job action campaign last week, they haven't announced plans for their roughly 83,000 members to escalate.
