Anyone who follows the news will be aware that there is talk of a teachers strike. This is Catharine writing, and I don't know anything you don't know, but I thought it might be useful to provide links to a few different news sources with some commentary from various sides on this issue.
Toronto elementary teachers will be in a legal strike position on December 10. They have pledged to provide 72 hours notice if they strike. Education minister Laurel Broten emphasizes that there is still time to negotiate local agreements, but has pledged to legislate an end to any strike (potentially using the tools created with Bill 115). According to the Globe and Mail, the plan is to stage rotating one-day strikes. The Globe writes: "In Toronto, where elementary school teachers will be in a legal strike position around Dec. 10, teachers were notified by e-mail that there will be a one-day strike before Dec. 21."
