In Ford's Ontario, teachers & education workers are being told to wear thick sweaters & to share paper clips in order to deal with the govt's shortchanging of #OntEd !

Is this really the best we can do in Ontario?

Well-deserved recognition for an acclaimed economist who sheds light on issues that matter most for Ontarians while calling out governments to do better for workers & families.

Congrats Sheila Block! #OSSTF #OnLab #CdnLab

Lack of supply coverage for ed workers, esp. education assistants, is creating unsafe learning & working conditions in ON schools!

Why is there an ed worker staffing crisis in the 1st place? All thanks to Ford's underfunding of #OntEd ➡️ bit.ly/3PFyszB

OSSTF Communications Voters need to❓where the 💰 is going. The Ford Government tabled the most expensive budget in #onpoli history but
⬇️ public #healthcare
⬇️ public education
⬇️ affordable housing
⬇️ rent control
The 💰 isn’t helping everyday citizens, remember this at vote time. #onted

The 60,000+ members in OSSTF Communications stand in solidarity with our friends on the Atlantic

Coast to coast to coast, our kids can’t wait

👊🏼💪🏾👏🏿👍🏽

'Cash-strapped Windsor-Essex board tells school staff to wear sweaters and share office supplies'

This doesn't surprise me. The current state of public education in Ontario is being severely underfunded 😥

Yesterday this government supported my Bill 173: Declaring Intimate Partner Violence an Epidemic in Ontario, but are sending it to committee for a 'study'. The declaration does not need another study at committee. 🧵🧵

When Ford chooses to spend more money than ever before, while starving public education & health care, we have to ask why?

Billions on subsidizing hydro 💰
Billions never collected 🚗
Billions taken from #OntEd as handouts 🏧

Seriously... why? #OnPoli

As a way to 'address' violence and mental health issues in schools, the gov has allocated $30 million for surveillance cameras.

Apparently, our schools are supposed to watch on video as students, teachers, and ed workers get attacked without being able to do anything about it.

Does Canada value professions in education? The current staff shortages in schools across the province reveal an underlying crisis of poor working conditions for education staff in Ontario schools. peopleforeducation.ca/our-work/staff…

#OSSTF stands in #solidarity with NS Teachers Union and their members who are fighting for better public education in Nova Scotia!

Time to demand that governments put students first & invest in their future! #OurKidsCantWait #nspoli

“The greatest, biggest tragedy... is that we are still debating this in 2024.'

#OSSTF Member, Fartumo, comments on Ford gov's decision to support NDP bill to declare intimate partner violence an epidemic, but stops short of a legal declaration. #OnPoli

It took 2 years. Worth the Fight. 🙏
But as we all know, the devil is in the details.
Justice System Reform. Transitional Housing. Funding for Education and Counselling...but an important first step that I am grateful #onpoli
