TORONTO — It’s shaping up to be another week of scrambling for thousands of parents of kids whose teachers are planning strike action. Contract talks between the province and the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario collapsed Friday with ETFO saying its teachers would walk out at each board twice a week, starting today. All four major teachers’ unions have been without contracts since Aug. 31, and are all engaged in some form of job action. High school teachers announced last week they would resume their weekly rotating strikes on Tuesday, after not holding any during last week’s exam period. The teachers’ unions and several others are fighting it in court, arguing it infringes on collective bargaining rights.
