TORONTO, Feb. 21-- Major teachers unions in the Canadian province of Ontario went on strike on Friday, leaving more than 2 million school children out of class. The strike saw 30,000 union members at Queen's Park. Another 20,000 were picketing along a 30-km stretch on Highway 10 in Peel Region, local media reported. "We want this government to understand that over 200,000 teachers and education workers across this province are standing up and in one voice saying you must pull back these cuts," Liz Stuart, president of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association, said Friday. Ontario's Education Minister Stephen Lecce said the students should be in school instead. |
