Teacher union protesters surrounded the vehicle of Education Minister Stephen Lecce Wednesday as he attempted to leave a public school where he announced new anti-bullying measures.

Lecce, who had been criticized for not visiting a public school during a tense period in negotiations with teacher unions, was able to leave after the vehicle slowly moved through the shouting and placard-waving crowd at Ogden Junior Public School on Phoebe St. in Toronto.

The surrounding of the minister’s car occurred as his vehicle attempted to leave the school grounds.

Some protesters were wearing ETFO-branded clothing, but the union declined to comment on the incident.
