When remote learning was necessary for all, DECEs were online with their class. EAs and CYWs were online to support students. Office staff were working to help parents. We cannot simply pivot to synchronous remote learning without them. Schools cannot run without CUPE. #onted
All Ontario school boards affected by the #CUPE strike should be offering no more than asynchronous learning until further notice. Synchronous online learning is not equitable, and certainly not a part of any (now expired) teaching contract in Ontario. #onted#ontedsolidarity
Fact: Online Learning is not in collective agreements.
Fact: the request for schools to move online is not appropriate during a labour dispute.
Fact: the grievance system is BROKEN!
Conclusion: @OECTAProv@etfo should not be asking teachers to move to online learning.
Does anyone get the feeling that Lecce just assumes he will get whatever he wants?
He has officially spent more time on trying to strip workers rights. & silence worker voice than he ever did on negotiations.
@Sflecce get off the media & come talk to the workers
Watching NewAmsterdam and heard this about nurses but it applies to EAs so I changed it #RealTalk
“Screw over EAs they will stay on the job because for them its not a job, its a calling. This profession that we love, does not love us back!” #OntEd
So fully vaccinated fans and hockey players are not allowed to be together in a massive arena for the Leafs game tonight, but @fordnation is debating sending back teachers and students, neither of which are fully vaccinated, into classrooms for 3+ weeks?
Seeing parents pissed off about online learning next year. Telling "where are the teachers and unions here." They've been against online learning from the get go. Thats why they went on strike and took money out of their pockets. Your turn, parents. Use your voice.
The Ford government, who repeats at nauseam they are “for the people”, has voted 21 times against something that is supported by 83% of people in Ontario. During a pandemic. Think about that. #PaidSickDaysSaveLives#PaidSickDaysNow#VoteFordOut2022#onpoli
If you take your child to an anti-lockdown, anti-mask rally, and make them carry a sign, you forever give up your right to say that teachers use children as pawns.
EA's are not... I repeat NOT respite workers.
EA's are not.... I repeat NOT free day care.
Please don't treat us as that.
We are there to educate. We understand parents' needs. But we need to be safe too. Please don't put us at risk. @OPSEU2100@Sflecce#UnsafeSchools
"The EA was working with a student who required special supports and wasn't always able to wear a face mask. It was a tragic and unnecessary loss." https://t.co/subrdMJCcP
Anxiety at an all time high. Feeling demeaned and devalued. Terrified for my students. This is not okay. I am not okay. My colleagues are not okay. Schools should be closed for ALL students right now.
“By closing the legislature, Doug Ford is hiding from the outrage he caused with his reckless actions and anti-science agenda,” Liberal Leader @StevenDelDuca said in a statement. #ONpoli https://t.co/BecHzzcJAF
