Judge Refuses to End Teachers Strike
From Times Wire Reports
A judge refused to order Ontario’s striking teachers back to work, saying provincial officials had failed to prove the walkout has seriously harmed the 2.1 million students affected. In what is the largest teachers strike ever in North America, nearly all of Ontario’s 126,000 teachers walked off the job Thursday. They are protesting legislation that would give the provincial government, rather than local school boards, control over such matters as class size and time spent by teachers in the classroom.
