The thing is…

…it’s the *real* unions that *do* take proper positions on geopolitical issues.

It’s the weak, conservative, fake ones that focus solely on ‘bread & butter’.

(where “real” = anti-oppressive, progressive, anti-capitalist, socialist)

🔥Last night teachers confronted their pension (one of the world's biggest) to demand it immediately divest from war crimes and the murder of children, and stop championing the launch of the new DSRB war bank.

ETFO rejects education overhaul as an unprecedented rollback of local democracy. Read the release https://t.co/F4CIR9ebv3

Proposed legislation removes #onted trustees from the central bargaining and shifts local bargaining to new chief executive officers (CEOs). The move upends decades of established labour relations and eliminates a core democratic safeguard. #onpoli

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

“While the Ford government ultimately rejected Minister Calandra’s initial plan to eliminate all democratically elected trustees — a reversal achieved through months of sustained advocacy by ETFO and its education partners — this legislation (proposed education bill, the Putting Student Achievement First Act) removes the essential powers trustees need to genuinely represent families and students,” says @ETFOpresident David Mastin. #onpoli

🇲🇽 CLAUDIA SHEINBAUM:
“Did they help the people who lost their homes or businesses? No.

They helped the bankers. The big businessmen. And made those private debts of those at the very top, into public debt.”

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

Brampton students are angry about the cuts and walk out over teacher surplus notices.
In taking action, students say, "These people are more than just numbers … they’re very beloved teachers within the school.”

“I thought the best way to get us to a level where our voices will be heard is by walking out and making it known that these teachers have people behind them, and students that adore them.” https://t.co/MrXdBzSw5z #onted
