On #LabourDay, we send solidarity, appreciation, & respect to our PDSB education worker affiliates & Comrades. It’s a privilege to be able to do the work we do alongside you all, every day. Truly, #OntEd in #Peel is #UnionMade. #ETFO #OnLab #CanLab #LabourDay2023

[ETFO Peel @ETFOPeel]

On #LabourDay, we elevate the work done by #PETL members who are charged with the responsibility of teaching, supporting, and inspiring young people – not merely as a job, but because we are driven by the mission of creating a better & more equitable society. #ETFO #onted #onlab

Delegates were treated to a soulful rendition of Solidarity Forever by R&B queen @jullyblack, who also led the group in an impromptu sing-along of This Little Light of Mine #canlab #LiftingEveryoneUp #CLC2023

@ETFOPeel Status of Women, thank you for I truly "feel like an EMPOWERED woman."

[Patrice Oconnor @PatriceSimply]

@ETFOPeel thank you for hosting the Status of Women's retreat this weekend. I leave feeling BRAVE. 1/

[Patrice Oconnor @PatriceSimply]

I leave feeling brave. Brave enough to stop being a passenger and get into the drivers seat. 4/

[Arminder Dhanki @ArminderDhanki]

Feeling so uplifted as PETL member! Weekend fun starts of course feeling like women! Proud to be @ETFOPeel members!💕

Students need more...support goes beyond the academics as they learn to navigate a world that saw them shut off from their resources and supports. I can't bare to imagine the further impacts to their well-being. @fordnation Don't cut students off even further. @ETFOPeel #RedForEd

[Patrice Oconnor @PatriceSimply]

@PeelSchools @D2L @fordnation How are you 'OK' with putting students in a position where their learning needs are not completely met? Put the resources/supports where @ETFOPeel educators can be #BetterTogether with students and families. Put the words #BetterTogether into action.

[Patrice Oconnor @PatriceSimply]

@PeelSchools @fordnation @D2L Students want to know why. They've been asking, why the shift? If we are #BetterTogether why weren't they included in this decision. @ETFOPeel educators weren't either. How can we be #BetterTogether if you've not included us all?

[Patrice Oconnor @PatriceSimply]

@PeelSchools @fordnation @D2L Taking resources away from public schools and hurting students in the process. We are #BetterTogether. Stop @D2L exclusivity. Put staff and students first. #OntEd

[ETFO Peel @ETFOPeel]

#PETL Stewards please check your email for time sensitive information about this week's preliminary submission approval process. Any further questions can be directed to your VP liaison. Members be sure to attend the union meeting this week to have your voice heard! #Solidarity

Check out @ETFOPeel for further information and sharables.

[Patrice Oconnor @PatriceSimply]

By forcing exclusivity of @D2L in schools, @PeelSchools is co-signing @FordNation's plan to privatize online education. Students deserve responsive teaching, not just a content managing system. Stop @D2L exclusivity. Put staff and students first. #BetterTogether #OntEd

[ETFO Peel @ETFOPeel]

.@ETFOPEEL: We’ve been here before, & we know what to do.

This week, let’s bring awareness to @PeelSchools’s complicity in @FordNation’s plans to privatize #OntEd, using #BetterTogether.

Use these shareables *all week* to amplify the msg.
