Teachers Unions Fighting Bill


Teachers' unions are vowing to fight the Liberal government after a bill that imposes contract terms on thousands of Ontario teachers passed in the legislature.

The Tories supported the minority Liberals on the bill that also reins in teachers' pay, cuts their benefits and stops them from striking.

The elementary teachers' union is urging members to stay away from meetings on Monday, while the secondary teachers' union wants members to fore go any voluntary activities on today.
