The union representing French teachers across the province have agreed to return to the bargaining table today ahead of a one-day province-wide strike scheduled for tomorrow. It would be the first time the union has hit the picket line since it was founded in 1998.
Meantime, Public elementary students will be back in their classrooms today after two days of strikes by members of the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario.
