Ontario: Unions plan to stage walkout, more than two-million students out of class

BY , Feb 12, 2020 9:21 PM - REPORT AN ERRORLAST UPDATED ON Apr 24, 2020 3:32 PM

The contract dispute between Ontario's four major teachers' unions and Premier Doug Ford's Conservative government is about to escalate.

The unions plan to stage a one-day walkout next Friday, a move that will leave more than two-million students out of class.

One union president says the Ford government is decimating the education system.

The education minister is calling the walkout an irresponsible choice.
