Ontario's elementary teachers start a week of rotating one-day strikes today, shutting down schools in three boards.
The Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario is holding its first strikes today in the York Region, Toronto and Ottawa-Carleton school boards.
The strikes will hit different boards each day this week as tensions escalate between the union and the province.
All four major teachers' unions are engaged in job action as they negotiate new collective agreements with the Progressive Conservative government.
The Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation is holding a one-day strike at some boards on Tuesday, as is the Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association.
The unions say that class sizes and cuts to services are the roadblocks in bargaining, while Education Minister Stephen Lecce insists they're stuck on wages.
