www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, April 23, 2015 | 8 Halton among list of secondary teachers who may strike continued from p.3 Other boards that have been served notice that their high school teachers may strike include Halton, Waterloo, Ottawa-Carleton and Lakehead in Thunder Bay. Contract talks broke off at the provincial level last week, but the OSSTF says they will resume. The local level talks are centered on non-monetary issues. Monetary items are bargained provincially at a central table. It is the first time a two-tiered bargaining process has been used in Ontario. Teachers province-wide have been without a contract since Aug. 31, 2014. The provincial government has said there is no money in its budget for raises in the public sector. A provincial conciliator brought in to aid the bargaining process issued a no-board report at the end of March, placing the two Halton sides in a legal strike or lockout position as of April 17. However, under the Ontario Labour Relations Act, a minimum of five days' notice must be given before any strike or lockout can occur. None has been given to date. Parents seeking more information about a possible local strike or lockout information, can visit the Halton public board's Frequently Asked Questions section at http://goo.gl/ ziMTzc. Public high school teachers walked out this week in Durham, but Halton union and board officials met yesterday. | Oakville Beaver file photo www.oakville.ca Do your part for Earth Week to keep Oakville beautiful!
