Adult Day School teachers in Toronto start at $32k a year. The cost of living for one person in Toronto is around $50k a year. Which Ontarians does this gov't represent? It certainly isn't us.

Six out of ten Ontarians are blaming the Ford government for the ongoing labour disruption involving tens of thousands of education workers that has forced schools to close for in-person learning, a new poll has found.

“We are with the students”. Us students are actually well aware you aren’t and haven’t been for as long as you’ve been in government. I wrote my sentiments to the minister of education @Sflecce and I urge everyone to do the same. #Onted#OnPoli#IStandWithCUPE#ontedsolidarity
It doesn’t matter if the legislation only names @osbcucscso, this essentially takes away the right to strike from all public sector unions in Ontario.
Let’s not delude ourselves into thinking otherwise.
We will not allow our rights to be legislated away. They may have a majority in the legislature. We have a majority across the province. We will take a stand and do everything we can to defend workers' rights and to defend public education.
If your reason that #onted workers shouldn't ask for wages that match inflation is "everyone else is suffering", think about what you're actually saying. Just sit somewhere, put your phone down and think for 5 minutes...
@Sflecce@OntHumanRights Awesome! And to address this issue with the students who are already adults, can you finally reinvest in publicly-funded adult education? Would love to hear the plans for this too in #OntEd. Thanks.
Adult Day School teachers only get paid for the hours they have on a student's timetable. To learn from online frenzy that the board changed plans at 7pm on a Sunday night is wrong and insulting for employers who claim to care about staff's mental health. #ONTED#EQUITYFORADS
Some of us had the opportunity to attend the @CESBAOntario conference 2021. It was encouraging to hear the desire to improve adult ed. access across the province. @Sflecce and @fordnation we need to reinstate funding for adult learners as a part of our #CovidRecovery. #OntEd
Your reminder that this is discrimination. Why is it that employees for the same boards, with the same qualifications, teaching the same curriculum are excluded solely on the basis that their students are over 21?

My school board had an emergency meeting and voted today to go virtual for one week. We’ve been in school for 9 days.
Less than two weeks… over 630 student quarantines and 150 student positives.
