Public elementary school teachers won’t be the only ones on the picket lines next week.

As part of escalating job actions by educator unions across the province, Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation District 9 — which represents public high school teachers in Windsor-Essex — has announced the next one-day strike by its members will be on Feb. 13.

The action coincides with a provincewide one-day strike next Thursday by all members of Association des enseignantes et des enseignants franco-ontariens (AEFO) — which represents French language teachers in Ontario.

“We stand in solidarity with our AEFO colleagues,” the OSSTF District 9 stated in a release. “These historic actions are a wake up call to all of Ontario’s citizens that the Doug Ford government is trying to devastate a world-class education system.”

The one-day strikes Feb. 13 will follow previously announced one-day strikes by the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (ETFO).

There will be a provincewide strike by all members of the ETFO on Feb. 11.

ETFO members with the Greater Essex County District School Board will also be on strike on Feb. 12, as part of rotating one-day strikes.
