What happened
Thousands of teachers and support staff protested in cities including Toronto, Ottawa, London, Sudbury, and Thunder Bay. They are pushing for better funding, improved teacher retention, and smaller class sizes. Contract negotiations have been stalled since the previous agreement expired at the end of August, pending a ruling from the Ontario Labour Relations Board.
Why it matters
The unrest highlights ongoing labor disputes over public education funding in Ontario. The province and education unions are awaiting a ruling from the Ontario Labour Relations Board in mid-November regarding the settlement process.
