Thank you @maritstiles & @AndreaHorwath for your continuing advocacy for safer schools for students, families, education workers and teachers. #SafetyforAll
Ford's MPPs just defeated our motion to cap class sizes at 15. Their stubborn refusal to act puts the safety of our school communities, and our ability to manage this pandemic, at risk. Thanks to all who acted quickly to call their MPPs. We won't give up. #OntEd #onpoli

Parents, students, & education workers are tired of the Ford government's games. Rhetoric, spin, and catch phrases are poor attempts to hide the Ford government's pursuit of privatization. osstf.on.ca/public-education… #onpoli #osstf #NoCutsToEducation #onted

Instead of engaging in formal negotiations, Minister @sflecce is holding a press conference. Our #OSSTF bargaining team is waiting. #onted #onpoli #NoCutsToEducation #edchat

I'm used to the cut and thrust of Question Period, but when the Minister said his priority was 'creating a safe learning environment for kids with special needs'... I couldn't let that fly. #onted #onpoli #cutshurtkids

Mandatory e-Learning furthers inequalities in Ontario's education system. Why is @fordnation making it harder for our students to succeed? #OntEd #HereForStudents

Bad news for the Ford gov't & @Sflecce - Environics poll indicates strong support for ed. workers. ✅ The public doesn't trust the Ford gov't ✅ The public doesn't support the Ford gov't's attack on public education #onpoli #onted #NoCutsToEducation #OSSTF bit.ly/2tFcdmj

Today, members of #OSSTF across the province are participating in either information pickets or full withdrawals of services. This is what #unity looks like, @Sflecce. We are proud to stand up for publicly-funded education. #NoCutsToEducation #onted #onpoli #solidarity

Minister of Education, @Sflecce says he wants #OSSTF to be reasonable - to be clear, Minister, our proposals are absolutely reasonable. We are asking for a reversal to education cuts, research into e-learning, and fair compensation for workers. #NoCutsToEducation #onted #onpoli

OSSTF has announced that its members will be holding another one-day walkout at a number of school boards on December 18, if an agreement isn't reached. Please note- TDSB has NOT been identified as one of those boards & all schools will be open to students.bit.ly/2PN9CxU

We put the future of our students at risk when we cut funding to their education. Ontario has a world-class education system and we must work hard to keep it that way for generations to come. If you agree, join our movement today at HereForStudents.ca 📚👩🏽‍🏫👨🏻‍🎓 #OntEd

Bargaining rights = labour rights = human rights Unions must have the right to negotiate without government interference. We stand in solidarity with our Ontario Members.

Following 5 months off for the federal election, PC MPPs start their 2 month Christmas vacation today. They return to work February 18th. Let's hope they get the rest they need to return refreshed and ready to criticize teachers for being overpaid and underworked. #onpoli

We are with you. Parents and students are with you. We know you are standing up for ALL our kids and future generations. We will be there alongside education workers, on the line, today and everyday. .@Sflecce must stop bullying and start respecting. #onted #onpoli – at Toronto, Ontario
This vilification is the worst I’ve ever experienced in my career. I love my job but I am feeling completely beat down at this point...this as I get ready to take 50+ students to a swim meet tomorrow. I am thankful for my colleagues #justkeepswimming #onefootinfrontoftheother
