Proper staffing is a key #OSSTF bargaining priority.

Staffing shortages mean fewer supports for students and greater pressure on the teachers and education workers who are already being asked to do more with less.

We are fighting for proper staffing + better working conditions!

Toronto Life just published a deep dive into what’s happening inside the #TDSB under provincial supervision.

The Ford gov't says the problem is overspending.

But as Toronto Life reports, “most experts argue that the TDSB actually suffers from chronic underfunding": bit.ly/4hn5cw0

Take action to protect workers’ right to strike.

The federal government has introduced legislation that could give it new powers to end legal strikes, weakening workers’ bargaining power.

Congrats to #OSSTF member Sharon on her OTIP Teaching Award 🏆

Sharon helped build her school’s barbering program from a student club into a credit-bearing course, creating hands-on learning opportunities that have helped students build skills and pathways into careers.

25 days without a contract.

Since asking for early bargaining in March, the Ford government’s actions have stalled actual bargaining. Teachers, education workers, and students deserve FAR better.

#OSSTF is ready to send a clear message: enough is enough.
