According to “Cooperative Education and Other Forms of Experiential Learning, Policies and Procedures for Ontario Secondary Schools, 2000”, one of the roles and responsibilities of school boards is to “develop a policy statement regarding a student’s activities in the event of a strike or a labour dispute”. With this in mind, a revised Advisory to assist Cooperative Education teachers, principals, and school boards in developing policy and dealing with work stoppages has been developed.

OCEA's Statement on Work Stoppages is contained in the Ethical Guidelines & Legal Issues for Cooperative Education, OYAP, & Other Experiential Learning Programs, April 2007 on page 16.  Click here to view/download OCEA's Statement on Work Stoppages revised March 1, 2010.
