TORONTO — Two Ontario teachers' unions say they have settled unfair labour practice complaints against the government, with the province confirming an early reading screening tool is not mandated for the upcoming school year.
The Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario and the Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association accused the government two weeks ago of failing to bargain in good faith by issuing the new requirement since it is a topic of discussion in negotiations.
A new policy announced by Education Minister Stephen Lecce earlier this year would have required teachers to use an early reading screening tool in senior kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2. The government notes the original memo had language stating that,"Where there is a conflict between the memorandum and a collective agreement, the collective agreement prevails."
