— Premier Doug Ford issued a vague warning to teachers’ unions Friday, while all four major groups are engaged in job action and contract talks are largely at a standstill. “We’ll get (deals) done, but there’s only so long my patience can last with the head of the unions,” Ford said. Public elementary teachers will soon start a second week of rotating, one-day strikes. “I’ll be very frank: A lot of teachers are fed up with the unions,” Ford said. Elementary teachers were on strike Friday at schools in the Bluewater and Ontario North East school boards, on the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario’s fifth day of rotating, one-day strikes.
