Classes began today at elementary schools in the city, but it’s not business as usual.

“Phase two” of a work-to-rule campaign started today by members of the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario as contract talks resumed with the province.

Elementary teachers are refusing to go on field trips and won’t participate in parent-teacher night.

President of the Rainbow ETFO Barb Blasutti says the members have been without a collective agreement for over one year.

Blasutti says she is happy the high school teachers were able to reach a deal, but that agreement doesn’t effect them because the issues are different.
