The union representing more than 76,000 elementary school teachers is reportedly threatening retaliatory action against any of its members who ignore calls for job action.

Any elementary-school teacher who does not go along with the union’s demand to withdraw extra-curricular activities could be subject to fines or public naming and shaming.

Tory education-critic Lisa MacLeod told the Toronto Sun she has a copy of an Elementary Teachers’ Federation letter that warns members to either go along with the job-action escalation or face fines of up to $500 a day.

They could also be subject to having their names put into some federation published materials.

This information comes as public high-school teachers announced they were to set to pull out of extracurricular activities and sports-coaching starting on Monday, December 10.

Union officials have promised to give at least 72-hours notice before any full-blown strike.

Teachers in the province are currently embroiled in a dispute with the government over their contracts, with some of the provincial proposals threatening the teachers’ right to strike.
