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. #OntEd #DaysWithoutAContract

Today's classrooms are very different. Students have more diverse learning needs, greater mental health challenges & more complex support requirements than ever before. Paul Calandra has overseen larger class sizes, fewer supports & growing pressures on schools. Ontario's students deserve better

Every student deserves access to the supports that help them succeed. That's why #OSSTF is fighting for more trained and qualified education workers. Investing in the people who support students means safer schools, stronger learning environments, & better outcomes for students & their communities.

One final note from me, I’ve seen these trustee spend more time in a meeting discussing their own mileage than they just spent on a billion dollar budget. In case anyone is curious about their priorities.

They’ve just tabled a motion to pass the budget, no sharing of details whatsoever in the meeting. Not a single request from a trustee to even show the room the budget. Not a single question from the trustees. Unanimous passing of the budget by trustees.
