Deadline day plus one...

The deals were coming fast and furious throughout April 24, even into early in the morning on April 25. An updated list based on the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario is pasted below. Some surprises in the list coming out in the past 24 hours (this reporter expected Toronto to be one of the last boards to settle) and some units still unsettled which are not surprising in the least.
As of posting this, only the Thames Valley District School Board had not reached agreement on either contract. This comes as no surprise given the bargaining history between the board and the ETFO local in this district. In the last round of negotiations, then-minister of education Gerard Kennedy had to get personally involved to get the two sides to agree to toss a retirement gratuity issue to arbitration so they could settle a contract. (The board won in arbitration, FYI) Check out this blog for a taste of what some local members think of the local's leadership and ability to bargain. There is true animosity between the local and the board. I wonder how willing the membership is to just throw out $2.7 million in salary increases, working condition improvements and professional development dollars.
