TORONTO -- The union representing elementary teachers in Ontario says contract negotiations with the province will resume next week.
The Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario says bargaining dates have been set for Monday and Tuesday.
Bargaining broke down last month and ETFO had threatened rotating one-day strikes as the government urged elementary teachers to accept deals similar to those that had worked for their colleagues in high schools and the Catholic system.
ETFO says it will continue its work-to-rule action until a "fair and reasonable agreement" specific to its members can be reached.
As part of its work-to-rule campaign, ETFO has said its members would not take part in parent-teacher meetings or class trips and not fill in for absent colleagues.
ETFO is also still proceeding with an unfair labour practice complaint made with the Ontario Labour Relations Board over what it claimed was the refusal of the government and the Ontario Public School Boards' Association to bargain in good faith.
