Ontario Teams in Jeopardy for 2012/2013?

[Racer26]

For those in Ontario: Not to worry, Federal Minister of Labour Lisa Raitt will just legislate the teachers back to working extra-curriculars. After all, she's legislated just about every other employee threatening work action back to work in the last 2 years.

</sarcasm>

In all seriousness though, OSSTF (the secondary school teacher's federation) was only threatening killing extra curriculars on wednesday (yesterday) for one day. Its the elementary teachers that said they would can them altogether until something is done to fix it.

Also, remember, it's not the school preventing you from participating, therefore they shouldn't hold the funding. Its the teachers union who are refusing to do extra-curriculars. I remember during work-to-rule years ago, our club stayed alive because the teacher wanted it to, going against his union.

EDIT: I suspect many long-standing FRC mentors will have this mentality too. Its about the kids. Not about their political battle with Queen's Park.
