Another strike vote is coming for teachers in Niagara.

Members of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation in the DSBN will vote on November 12th and 13th.
These votes are part of contract talks and can put teachers in strike position if negotiations fall apart.
One of the sticking points is larger classes, which could mean fewer local jobs.
This comes after the Elementary Teachers' Federation voted overwhelming in favour of strike action on Friday.
The EFTO filed for conciliation after negotiations stalled with the province.
Those started are slated to start today.
