By Rosalind Russell – English public school teachers in Ontario have been awarded salary increases totaling 11.25% over four years.
The arbitrator’s decision involves 80-thousand Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario members and 60-thousand Ontario Secondary School Federation members.
The award covers 2022-2026 with 3 % increases in each of the first two years.
That’s followed by a 2.75% increase this coming school year and 2.5% in 2025-26. Both unions say the decision represents the highest increase over the term of an agreement in over a decade.
