EFTO Rejects Return to Extracurricular Activities


The governing Liberals say they're disappointed that public elementary teachers don't plan to resume extracurricular activities.

The Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario says it wants to keep talking, but they need to see ``real actions'' from the government. Union president Sam Hammond says many teachers are
still upset over imposed contracts.

In January, the Liberals used controversial legislation to foist contracts on teachers that cut benefits and froze the wages of most instructors.
