Q198: Before the end of 2015, will classes in Ottawa schools be cancelled due to labour action?
Yes: 60%
(This question requires a significant number of schools to stop offering classes; one or two schools would not be sufficient. The length of the cancellation must be at least one day. The schools can be in the public or Catholic English boards, and can be elementary or high schools)
As I noted in my recent post, there is the possibility of an Ottawa teachers' strike if negotiations between the province and the unions do not go well. In the recent round of bargaining,
there have already been teachers' strikes elsewhere in Ontario, and some unions in Ottawa have started work-to-rule campaigns. Given the level of unrest, I think that there probably will be a teachers' strike of some sort in some board in Ottawa, although it may not last very long. The current round of bargaining has been going on for a long time with very little progress.
