As a parent in Ontario, I am writing to protest teachers’ strike organized by the Teachers Unions : OTF, ETFO, OSSTF, OECTA,AEFO and CUPE etc.

The Unions and teachers are holding students’ future as their stake to ask more benefit and compensation. Remember it’s our tax money that paying their living.

As the backing organizations for teachers, OTF, ETFO, OSSTF, OECTA, AEFOand CUPE should have a positive and effective way to solve its conflict with government. A threatening for strike, canceling EQAO tests and walking out of classroom not to teach is despicable.

At the same time, many teachers are refrained from helping students and parents out side of their working hour. Everyone loses in the current labor dispute except the Unions.

In my opinion, the Ontario Teachers Unions should be dismissed for good. Teachers should be evaluated by themselves, students and their success, and parents.

Thank you for your attention,

As a teacher, you can't use students as bargaining chips in order to improve your own interests. Strongly opposed to the teacher strike!

Teachers are comparatively very well paid and they should not take students as a hostage in bargaining with government for more benefits. Position of teachers should be adjusted according to the supply and demand circumstances. Those who are not satisfied should be asked to leave and let the vacancy to be filled up by those who are on the waiting list.

teachers is paid by taxpers, should put student first, never go to strike and badly impact students. They can strike in summer time or march break time.

Teachers around the world were widely regarded as respectful people who teach young people values and morality.....Where do we see that in Ontario Canada? ! Stop using children as pawns for personal gains.

Teacher's union are over powered and is a big obstacle to improve the quality of education. It makes perfomance measurement impossible and keeps the bad teachers in the system. There are other measures that can ensure teachers are fairely compensated without disruptions to the education. Stop claiming that the strike is for the students.

I don't believe teachers are dreaming of get paid more for doing less. It is union who are collecting money and doing things like this showing their value. However this is only for union's own good, no oneelse.

You should look up what the strike is actually asking for. The wage increase is only one small part of the demands. Your children are forced into ever more crowded classrooms with fewer and fewer supports in class to help them learn. The government is holding your children ransom and hoping you blame teachers.

This petition is stupid and strikes are important. if you care about students, you shoudl support the strike, which aims to get them the in-class supports they need and deserve
