WATCH LIVE TONIGHT 👇🏽

#OSSTF & OFL Member Michele McCleave-Kennedy will be on The Agenda tonight to discuss the rise of public anger and how this relates to increasing violence in schools & workplaces.

NO WORKER should experience violence on the job! #OnPoli #Onted

Schools are facing daily staff shortages and this gov'ts relentless cuts to education, their refusal to take action on violence and their cuts to mental health supports are only making things worse. We need action from this gov so that our kids can learn and thrive in ON.

Parents & students came together to SPEAK OUT against Ford's many cuts to #OntEd ✂️✂️✂️

Earlier this month, students & parents joined outside a local school, protesting plans to combine 3 grades into 1 class. Ford's cuts have created this staffing crisis!

Everyday, #OntEd schools are short staffed & students go w/out necessary supports due to Ford's cuts ✂️✂️✂️

He always has $$$ to spend on private, for-profit deals. Yet, when it comes to public ed, he shortchanges the system & cuts funding by $1500 per student. Shame! #OnPoli

At a time when it's desperately needed school breakfast programs are being cut because of a lack of adequate funding.

I'm glad to see students rallying against these cuts. I hope the Ford gov't listens to the students and delivers the necessary funding.

'when you (Ford gov) say, 'The purpose of this is to prevent the wealthy from unduly influencing an election,' I say, 'Right on,' except that's not what we're dealing with.'

SHAMEFUL behaviour at the Education World Forum!

Education ministers met w/ private sector orgs behind closed doors. Who knows what was discussed - educators & communities were shut out!

'Classrooms can reach over 40°C with humidity for much of May and June. If parents could feel the heat in their child's classroom, I believe they would be extremely upset.'

Share your own experience where heat impacted your work and health: ofl.ca/the-heat-is-on/

Congrats to the Disneyland performers who voted to join a union 👏🏼

These talented performers are responsible for making children's dreams come true. Time to turn their dreams into reality too, such as fair wages, good benefits, & job security. #Solidarity
