MANITOUWADGE, ON – Support Staff from Superior-Greenstone District School Board’s elementary and secondary schools in Manitouwadge took their picketing downtown yesterday (Thursday, November 28, 2019) to share their concerns with the public regards to what they describe as the Ford Gov’t forcing the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF)’s into a Legal Strike Position.
