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!

Are you going?

On Saturday, October 24, education workers, families, and communities are coming together at five rallies across Ontario to support strong publicly funded education.

📍 London
📍 Ottawa
📍 Sudbury
📍 Toronto
📍 Thunder Bay

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

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 🏆
