Month Long Strike for Ministry of Education Psychologists: October 12, 2021

Last Tuesday, over 120 psychologists employed by the Ministry of Education working in schools and early childhood centers began a month-long strike. The strike action involves the psychologists refusing to accept further referrals of cases onto their caseload.
