1/12 #LABOURDAY 🧵: #OSSTF & the Right to Strike—A History On Dec. 30, 1919, 62 high school teachers and principals held a secret meeting in Toronto and formed OSSTF, the second teachers’ federation to form in Ontario. It was a time of increased worker militancy in Canada.

I’m sure you won’t be surprised to see this connection between Lecce and Mr. X @waltonmom… who knows in what ways Ontario’s education system has been influenced by Mutton

The 100 biggest low-wage employers have spent $341 billion on stock buybacks for their corporate shareholders since 2020, while their median annual worker pay was just $31, 672 last year. We don’t suffer from scarcity. We suffer from greed.

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. More etfocb.ca/conciliation-faq/ #onpoli

This is too much. @sflecce’s REFUSAL to fund essential supports for students keeps many out of school, but he doesn’t care. His refusal to fund clean air keeps many students & staff home sick, but he doesn’t care. There’s nothing he won’t manipulate for his own interests. – at Toronto, Ontario
A stable and normal school year will help support positive mental health. Hear what @sickkids & @SMHO_SMSO had to say about Ontario's new mandatory mental health curriculum ⬇️

I gave a talk to the leadership of ⁦⁦@ETFOeducators⁩ last year following the ‘notwithstanding clause’ fiasco. Reading the room, fair to say that Minister Lecce has zero credibility there, and rightly so IMO. Trust is something you earn. thecanadianpressnews.ca/poli…

Brown says OSSTF has “charted their own path” by accepting binding arbitration but says it doesn’t work for elementary teachers. Sick leave, benefits and class sizes can’t be handled with mediation, the union argues, only thru negotiation.

SAG LA Vice President Michelle Hurd explains that “you know those actors when you go ‘oh there’s that guy from that show’, you don’t necessarily know their names… those actors are working class actors who are literally working paycheck to paycheck.”
