UPDATE & ACTION: PDSB senior leadership tried to force cuts to front-line student supports quietly, w/o trustee or union consultation. Ed workers organized & forced some reversals. Cuts are still happening, & pressure *must* continue. #ETFO #OntEd #OnLab #FundTheFrontlines 1/2

A day to honour freedom’s hard‑won path and to push forward for justice, equity, and the collective work needed to ensure everyone can live with possibility and power. #ETFO #onted #onlab

PEWU MEDIA RELEASE: @PeelSchools Supervisor Approves Cuts to Frontline Services While Millions Remain in Reserves

“Public ed depends on the ppl who deliver it every day. Continued cuts to frontline services are not a plan for improvement. They are a risk.”

Choosing local and union‑made products supports good jobs, strong communities, and the workers who keep our province thriving. When we buy Ontario and Canadian made, we invest in our neighbours and a more resilient future. #ETFO #onted #onlab

New: the Ford government is defending its decision to award the contract for its $750 classroom supplies portal to a single vendor, arguing that consolidating purchases will drive down prices through bulk buying.

Teachers said a single supplier could limit choice & make it harder to obtain specialized materials. https://t.co/lsbLCwumRh

On UN Public Service Day, we honour all public service workers including the educators, support staff, and school workers who keep public education standing. They show up every day, even as funding falls short. Public education deserves better. #ETFO #onted #onlab

On Nat'l Indigenous Peoples Day we honour the vibrancy, creativity, and knowledge of First Nations, and Métis Peoples. This day calls us to reflect on the truths of colonization, learn from Indigenous worldviews, and support relationships grounded in respect and accountability.

On World Refugee Day we acknowledge the strength and resilience of refugees worldwide. Everyone has the right to seek safety, rebuild their lives, and be welcomed with compassion. Standing with refugees means challenging xenophobia and supporting policies rooted in humanity.#ETFO

World Day Against Child Labour calls us to raise awareness of the millions of children denied safety, education, and their innocence because of exploitative labour. This means addressing the conditions that make children vulnerable and supporting efforts to protect them. #ETFO

Today we reflect on our shared responsibility to protect the lands, waters, and ecosystems that sustain us. Small, consistent actions toward sustainability and climate justice make a real difference. A healthier planet is a collective effort. #ETFO #onted #onlab

At Queen's Park today, @ETFOpresident joined @PolicingFreeSch and community members to send the government a united message. Fund our schools, not policing in schools!

Ford has already spent millions on police-in-schools programs, which do nothing to address students' real needs! What students in #onted need are resources, special education supports and smaller class sizes. #onpoli
