The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) has notified public school boards across Ontario that elementary teachers and elementary occasional teachers will take job action as of May 11, 2015. We have been informed that, in HWDSB elementary schools, potential work-to-rule will begin May 11.
If potential work to rule occurs, HWDSB elementary schools will not be closed to students as of May 11. Before- and after-school child care would continue. All transportation to and from schools would continue as usual.
Work-to-rule means partial withdrawal of service. Once we learn what services may be affected, we will communicate this to families and students.
