classroom1-637x477The Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association has reached a tentative agreement with the province and the Ontario Catholic School Trustees’ Association.

They’re the second major group of teachers to reach a contract agreement after the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation reached a deal last week.

Details of this latest settlement are confidential, pending ratification by the Catholic Teachers Association members, but work to rule has been immediately suspended during the ratification period.

The union represents 50,000 elementary and secondary school teachers in Ontario.
