Teachers for the public elementary schools were back on strike yesterday.
For the second time since Monday, public schools in Milton were closed as teachers went back on strike.
This time, teachers, and early childhood educators were at the intersection of Main and Thompson throughout the day.
Despite the increase in times on strike, support hasn’t faded from parents according to Vice President of ETFO Halton, Elizabeth Mitchell.
Amy Korzack, the President of the Early Childhood Educators Halton ETFO, expands on why they are joining teachers in this fight.
One of the Early Childhood Educators in Halton says it is critical that both sides are supported through negotiations.
Some of the key issues that have put the negotiations at a standstill include wages, classroom size, and cuts to support staff.
Milton MPP Parm Gill commented on the ongoing talks between the two sides as well.
Next week, the ETFO is planning on striking on Monday and Tuesday in the Halton region.
