The following shows the growing wage gap between A4 teachers (11+ yrs) at TCDSB and St. Michael's College School. What started as an 11.3% discrepancy has grown to 17.1%. Surprisingly to some it's NOT TCDSB teachers making more! So much for being the highest paid teachers! #onted
Public elementary teachers will take strike votes to put pressure on the year-long contract talks with the Ford government.

#BREAKING - The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario
says it will hold central strike votes at all-member meetings. ETFO says it’s doing so “Given the lack of sufficient progress being made at the central bargaining table”
@Teachers__Unite If we want to win overwhelming public support we have to fight for the entire working class not just ourselves as #onted teachers.
All workers have had their wages cut for decades.
All workers need an immediate 30% wage increase just to match inflation since 2012. #onpoli
Speaking to the media at #ETFOAM2023, @ETFOpresident says the government has the funds. This is about making public education a priority and investing in students and student support. #onpoli#onted
BREAKING : #etfo will hold strike vote this fall. “We need to pressure this government to come to the table and start to bargain seriously.” #onted#onpoli Joins #osstf in planning for strike vote.
The opportunity cost of becoming an #onted teacher is too much and a dramatic correction is required in order to sustain public education.

All year, in response to our constructive bargaining proposals, the govt has refused to engage meaningfully and has recently insisted on tabling proposals that are tantamount to strips in salary, benefits, and working conditions. It's time to bargain - enough is enough! #onpoli
Here at #etfo annual meeting where @ETFOpresident Karen Brown says what’s going on in education today is reminiscent of Mike Harris years in late 90s #onted

Anyone who thinks #onted teachers should shut up and take 1.25% per year for 4 years after having already lost 20% over the past decade has clearly demonstrated that they don't care about the state of public education. I for one am tired of taking shit deals! Enough is enough.
Premier Ford, Minister Lecce: You cannot claim to care about Ontario’s students and student achievement while you cut funding to students and schools and when all of this is happening on your watch. Shame on you for allowing this to continue! says @ETFOpresident. #onpoli#onted
Many Ontario public school students face mild violence by other students with exceptionalities on a daily basis. There is not enough staff to prevent this from happening.
Few parents understand this.
