As of now, Waterloo Region’s public high school teachers are in a legal strike position.
By Wednesday evening, though, the local chapter of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation had no plans to do so.
“We are not making any announcement of a strike date today,” Sherry Freund, president of the union’s Waterloo Region chapter, told CTV News in an email.
“Bargaining continues.”
At least five days’ notice would be given before a strike takes place, OSSTF representatives have said in the past.
Public elementary school teachers across Ontario will be in a legal strike position as of May 10.
No strike action has been declared in Waterloo Region or anywhere else by the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario.
The union representing Catholic teachers, the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association, has also requested a no board report.
Union president James Ryan told CTV News last week that Catholic teachers would not take any strike action until June at the earliest.
