Elementary teachers with the Rainy River District School board have started a series of work-to-rule actions in their efforts to reach a new deal.This after a Ministry of Labour conciliator issued a no-board report in their talks wih the board.
Local union president Trevor Bowles says focus for teachers will now only be on classroom instruction and ensuring the safety of students.
Some of the jobs action include teachers showing up for work 30 minutes before the start of school and leaving 30 minutes after classes end on Mondays and Tuesdays only.
They will also refrain from participating in extra-curricular activities on those days.
The teachers actions are more directed at the provincial government, they say has hindering local bargaining with the passage of Bill 115.
