Watch @ETFOpresident Karen Brown offer insight into the #onted teacher recruitment and retention crisis and ways the Ford government can address the growing issue.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but when employers implement “attendance review” programs, ostensibly to monitor employee wellbeing, what they’re really doing is intimidating employees into not using their contractually allocated sick days, and coming to work sick.

Ontario’s Financial Accountability Officer (FAO) has pegged the overall cost of the Ford government's unlawful Bill 124 at $13.7 billion.

This egregious misuse of taxpayers' money and violation of workers' rights will not be forgotten. #onpoli #onted

ETFO Teacher and Occasional Teacher members!

[Karen Brown @KarenAMBrown]

After years of progress, seeing symbols of identity for a community being attacked and outright denied is so disheartening. Flying a flag in #onted is an important political statement about inclusion and acceptance. The ETFO office will continue to display it proudly. #onpoli

The month of June is internationally recognized as Pride Month. Promoting and recognizing Pride month is important as it honours past history and future advocacy related to civil rights and gender diversity. #PrideMonth2023

Effective superintendents know that morale in their district is a reflection of their leadership. They set the tone for how everyone else is treated.

#Ontario Parents, can we make the hashtag #ParentsStandWithCUPE trend so @fordnation can get a sense of how many of us know that the blame rests on the government?

Please R/T.

From the OLRB:
The fines Lecce in the Act set for CUPE workers was twice what is considered standard for Ontario, and the fine for the union was 20 times the is normally used. GROSS.

Despite the closure of Hwy 105, Ear Falls PS, Golden Learning Centre, Red Lake-Madsen PS and Red Lake DHS remain OPEN to students and staff.

Hello colleagues in #OSSTF, #ETFO, #OECTA, #CUPE, #AEFO & other educators.

I need to have a tough talk with you. Stop replying to Lecce’s tweets. Your replies are helping get his messages seen because people don’t retweet & like him in big #s.

I know how we feel, but stop.

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Doug Ford is spending millions on outdated standardized testing instead of investing in the supports students need.
It's time to scrap EQAO tests and focus on helping kids recover after a very difficult 2 years.

We oppose the government’s plan to lift the mask mandate in schools as of March 21 and believe it will jeopardize the safety of students, staff & our school communities. See our full statement here: https://t.co/bF4JgzYV9w #OPCLeadLearn

[Upper Grand DSB @ugdsb]

Today, Ontario announced changes to COVID-19 requirements effective March 21, including lifting mask mandates in schools. Please note that the UGDSB continues to have a Board Resolution requiring masks in schools. We will consult w/the CMOH and will provide additional info today.

Let's put this anti-vax convoy into perspective. In Ukraine, people live in fear of being invaded by Russia. In Afghanistan, people live in fear of being killed by this or that faction. In Canada, grown men & women are thundering towards Ottawa because they don't want a needle.
