The provincial government has quietly offered contract extensions to most of the education unions, which would mean teachers wouldn't strike ahead of the 2018 election.
Premier Kathleen Wynne says the issue came up as part of discussions with unions over a court ruling earlier this year that said the government violated their collective bargaining rights.
Legislation back in 2012, Bill 115, would have imposed contracts on teachers, frozen some wages and limited their ability to strike.
So, five of the unions took the government to court.
A spokesperson for the Education Minister confirmed to the Globe and Mail that all unions that were part of that lawsuit have been offered extensions.
Teacher and education-worker contracts currently expire at the end of next August.
