TORONTO — Ontario has reached a tentative deal with public elementary teachers, ending a work-to-rule campaign that began last spring.

The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario says it is advising its members to suspend their strike action.

The deal means the Liberal government doesn’t have to follow through on its threat to dock the pay of teachers on administrative strikes.

ETFO’s 78,000 members started a work-to-rule campaign in May that they escalated near the beginning of the school year and again last month when they withdrew from extracurricular activities.

The government also reached a deal Monday with support staff represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees.
