I am an STF teacher. I am confident that the president, executive, and senior STF leadership are representing my views, listening to teachers, and are standing up for public education. This is a flimsy attempt to create an appearance of division in a unified membership. #weareSTF
Manitobans put their trust in our government to rebuild health care and lower costs for families. This budget delivers on those commitments, and many more.
One future. One people. One Manitoba.

I just can’t stop reflecting on this. Something to think about FOR SURE! I am so proud of our leadership! Thank you @SaskTeachersFed@STFPresident for everything you are doing to lead us!
Advocacy may occur in closed meetings; however, if boards remain silent publicly, they become complicit in the misinformation and deception that is being attempted by government.
School boards should not fear retribution for making statements that contradict government positions.
Scott Moe has made it clear - funding public education is not his priority.
From 2015 - 2020, public education received a pitiful 7% increase in funding while private education received an 88% increase in the same time period.

@SKGov Who is going to teach in these luxurious classrooms? Or were you just going to put the kids in there by themselves and let it “lord of the flies” itself out?
Nary a better description hath ever been uttered:
“"The minister is absolutely incor-rect," Becotte told media shortly after Cockrill shared his version of events. "Maybe he's confused about what happened. Maybe he is just intentionally misleading the public."
The Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation says it has turned down an invitation from the provincial government to resume negotiations because the Government-Trustee Bargaining Committee said it hadn’t been given a new bargaining mandate.

STF declines invitation to restart bargaining until GTBC has 'a renewed mandate': Teachers and the government-trustee bargaining committee (GTBC) will not be heading back to the bargaining table today or early next week. #sask#sasked#skpoli#yqr#yxe https://t.co/2cBebuAk6N
"Look - we are doing something" ... another distraction tactic, not a real solution.
"We added $40M in funding" ... education is $400M short.
"Teachers walked away" ... government didn't show up.
Anyone else getting tired of these sad attempts to avoid the problems they created?

Since accepting the invitation to bargain, government has done nothing but stall, mislead the public and try to undermine our collective bargaining process. A timeline of events is as follows.
We set aside two full days to bargain in good faith with the Government-Trustee Bargaining Committee (GTBC).
Today, they didn't even bother to show up.
Our kids deserve better than not showing up.
