Aggression and violence in the classroom are rising dramatically across the country.

I joined the #CTFFCE’s call to amend Bills #C273 and #S251 to ensure the safety of students and educators.

@ETFOpresident "While this bargaining round was exceptionally lengthy and difficult, members stood firm in the face of cuts, pressed for improvements to working and learning conditions, and won. This is proof that the bargaining process works when it’s allowed to unfold." #onpoli

Minister, either you don't understand the process or you're simply not paying attention. The #ETFO education worker agreement is not your proposal. Stop misleading the public!

“Instead of spewing harmful and dangerous rhetoric that tries to pit parents against educators, the Ford govt should be ensuring safe and inclusive spaces for every student in this province and for every constituent they serve” - @ETFOpresident #onpoli

Listen to the ETFO President outline the major bargaining issues in our central negotiations for 83,000 teachers, occasional teachers and education workers. She explains why ETFO educators are asked to participate in a strike vote. Learn more at https://t.co/XyQEX5CYt2 #onpoli

"A strong strike vote will help #ETFO communicate to the Ford government that they must get serious about bargaining," said @ETFOpresident. "While we are now working with a conciliator to help us explore all possible options in reaching agreements that are fair for ETFO members, central strike votes are another tool we can use to help us achieve the best working conditions and learning conditions possible." #onted #onpoli

Lecce says he's disappointed with EFTO's decision | https://t.co/cTASFK7UDt…

ETFO has not left the table, nor have they suggested they are leaving! They’ve been at the table waiting for you and your team to actually negotiate!!! https://t.co/c8BWMFTFt4

With our announcement on #onted bargaining, we wanted to ensure that parents are fully informed.

📢 It is a normal process of labour relations in Ontario.
📢 It is an attempt at resolution.
📢 It is a request for 3rd-party assistance.

BREAKING: ETFO is filing for conciliation and taking strike votes. @ETFOpresident says “These are our best tools to apply pressure on this govt to address key issues, and the best way to get the government’s demands for strips to our members’ contracts off the table.” #onpoli

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

“Although I’ve seen Minister Lecce quite a bit on social media and in media interviews, he hasn't seen fit to reach out to me in person for a meeting in two years. And I’ve only spoken with the Premier twice. Facts matter. And good faith bargaining matters!” #onpoli

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

“Our message to the govt is clear: keep bargaining issues at the bargaining table or we will continue to take swift action to protect our members’ bargaining rights and public education,” said #ETFO & ⁦@OECTAProv⁩ in a joint statement.

@Sflecce “keep bargaining at the table or we will continue to take swift action to protect our members & public education. We will continue to work toward realizing a fair, negotiated agreement that supports all students, educators, and families.”

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

Two weeks ago, #ETFO and @OECTAProv filed unfair labour practice complaints with the OLRB, asserting the Ford government violated its legal obligation to bargain in good faith by implementing PPM 168, as this was a topic of discussion at the bargaining table.

Prior to the start of the OLRB hearing, which was scheduled for this week, the Crown made an offer to settle the complaints. In our view, this is a – belated, but welcome – recognition by the government that the unilateral implementation of PPM 168 contravened collective agreements, violated the statutory freeze period during bargaining, and circumvented the bargaining process. #onted
