Contract Talks Break Off

A day after they started, contract talks between the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation and the province have broken off.

The two sides had gathered yesterday for what was to be the start of at least two days of discussions.

The government says compensation is the key issue in the dispute but OSSTF president Harvey Bischoff says it was not even discussed.

The union’s fighting for smaller class sizes and the elimination of mandatory e-learning.

A third round of one-day walkouts is planned for tomorrow.

No schools in the Rainy River district are impacted.
