Ontario teachers strike: Can you take your child to work? – 640 Toronto
Childcare needs and employee rights during teachers strike
All English public elementary schools in Ontario will be closed for a one-day strike on Thursday, February 6, while select schools (including those within the Toronto District School Board) will also be closed on Friday.
When a school closes its doors due to a strike, working parents have few options when it comes to securing childcare for their children. What options do parents have if they can’t find a daycare or sitter to look after their offspring on strike days? Can parents take their children to work?
A Toronto employment lawyer at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP joined host Mike Stafford on Global News Radio 640 Toronto to discuss the rights of parents when family duties arise, and an employer’s duty to accommodate.
