Around 73,000 Quebec teachers stage early-morning strike over contract dispute

Quebec Superior Court on Monday refused a request by the school boards to deny the teachers the right to hold the strike, paving the way for the job action to proceed.The province’s workplace tribunal was supposed to hear the case Tuesday afternoon, but the head of one of the teachers’ unions said that hearing turned out to be unnecessary after discussions were held between the two parties.

Josee Scalabrini told The Canadian Press that the employer wanted reassurance on some aspects of the strike, including that the teachers would be in class by 9:31 a.m. Several school boards have announced classes will move online for the day because the strike impacts school buses and early-morning supervision.
