TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 19, 2012) - OSSTF/FEESO has reached tentative teacher bargaining unit agreements with the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board, the Niagara District School Board and the Thames Valley District School Board. These three agreements will be officially submitted to the Minister of Education for her review. We await the Minister's decisions as to whether these agreements meet the parameters the Government outlined in Bill 115.

OSSTF/FEESO is following the process we always have in the past. We are encouraging local negotiations and they are being scheduled as time permits.

At this time, there will be no further comments made or interviews scheduled.
