Ontario’s English Catholic teachers will walk off the job for one-day.

The Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association has announced a one-day walkout for Tuesday January 21st.

The full withdrawal of services will target publicly funded English Catholic school boards.

It will affect schools in Niagara and across the rest of the province.

The OECTA started a work-to-rule campaign yesterday. It targets administrative duties, including report card comments.

Members voted 97.1 percent in favour of strike action back in November.
