      History

      The School Boards and Teachers Collective Negotiations Act (R.S.O., chap. S2) was adopted in 1975 in order to govern collective bargaining between school boards and teachers; it also created the Education Relations Commission.

      Meetings were held once a month except during hearings or a strike, when meetings were held more frequently and as required. The Commission was comprised of five members appointed by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council. It reported directly to the Office of the Minister of Education and Training (Minister of Education until 1993).

      The Commission ceased to exist in 1998.
