97 per cent of members with the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation gave support to action in balloting last week
Despite the government's threat to take its right to strike away, local president Kent Kowalski says the vote was conducted to give teachers a voice to indicate opposition to the legislation contract imposed by the Liberal government.
He says teachers also want to bargain collectively without interference.
No strike date has been set and no talks between the teachers and the Rainy River District School Board are planned.
