Ford's harmful comments have real-world consequences for many #2SLGBTQI youth!
If the gov't enacts this as policy, #OSSTF will vigorously defend its members in exercising their professional judgement in creating safe schools!

Today, #OSSTF leadership voted overwhelmingly to recommend that Members enter into a proposal to resolve bargaining with the govt through a process that could include arbitration. This not a tentative agreement but clears a pathway forward for this round of bargaining. #OntEd

Yesterday was a chilling day for workers across Ontario & 🇨🇦 when the Ford gov stripped 55,000 @osbcucscso workers of their Charter right to fair bargaining.
@fordnation was not present for the vote, but #OnLab will be present & out in force until #Bill28 is repealed. #OntEd

Glad to have the opportunity to speak with @TheCurrentCBC this morning about Doug Ford's fight to keep down the wages of low-paid education workers, and how Bill 28 threatens the rights of all workers.

“Legal scholars say this violates the Canadian Charter of Rights of Freedoms. That’s bad for many reasons, but the new law, Bill 28, is also completely unjustified from a financial perspective.”

Ford govt announced draconian, heavy-handed legislation today that imposes a 4yr contract on @osbcucscso's 55,000 ed workers, most of whom are women & make ~$39,000
#OSSTF stands w/ CUPE's Members. Ford govt must respect & uphold workers' right to fair bargaining #OntEd #OnPoli

When "historic" funding is not so historic...
Ontario needs & deserves real investments in public education, not political spin!
#OSSTF #ProPublicEd #OntEd #EdFacts
ALT What the government said: More than $26.6 billion in funding for 2022-2023 school year, the highest investment in public education in Ontario's history. What it really means: - amount includes funding for private & public childcare, and about $480 million in limited or one-time funding - funding for this year falls short of covering higher costs due to inflation and increases in enrolment, especially when you account for the limited and one-time funding for tutoring and extra staff

When this govt was re-elected, they promised to "always have workers' backs".
Education workers are frontline workers & kept our schools & campuses running throughout 2 yrs of a pandemic. They deserve our respect fair wage.

“Ford govt wants you to think that everyone who works in #OntEd is overpaid. Ave wage of #OSSTF ed workers is $45,000 a yr & many rely on a 2nd or 3rd job just to get by.
Ed workers are frontline workers. They deserve respect fair wage.” - @karenosstf

While the Minister of Education continues to re-announce funding commitments made earlier this year, we need to remember that the Ford gov't spent almost $1B less on education last year than it did the year before. #OntEd #OSSTF

Provincial Schools for the Deaf and Blind provide awesome programs for Deaf/Blind students. This video is from the ECD Secondary School for the Deaf in Milton. These kids thrive in our schools, and we are Ontario’s Best Kept Secret in PublicEd. Watch, and see for yourself! #onted

Important read on Ford govt's false #Budget2022 numbers:
🏫 ON's schools face $12.3B ‘shortfall’ over next 10yrs
📉 #OntEd had $1.3B funding shortage this year
💰 Ford's ed budget includes billions from feds for child care
