Over 100 OPSEU/SEFPO members and community advocates rallied this afternoon outside the constituency office of @DaveSmithPtbo — calling upon the provincial gov't to #FundPublicServices crucial to our communities' well-being, from education to social services! #ONLab #ONpoli

With another semester ending, here's your annual reminder that teaching evaluations systemically disadvantage women. Even when controlling for grades and other factors, students (esp. males) consistently give female professors lower scores. This can have serious ramifications.🧵

Nearly 3 weeks since the program cuts were announced and way more questions than answers opseu.org/news/opseu-sef…

Hearing from my old colleagues in #onted secondary schools that when teachers are away, gr 11 and 12 classes are now being cancelled - and not infrequently- due to exhausting on calls and no supply teachers in the system. Is this happening everywhere in Ontario?

LifeLabs workers are out on the picket line! They are Laboratory Technicians & Medical Laboratory Assistants who perform critical medical testing to ensure timely diagnosis. They stand firm in their demand for fairness so they can provide the highest quality of patient care.

Same!

Please sign the petition at opseu.org/fundourcolleges. Public colleges and universities in Ontario are woefully underfunded, which has led to the overreliance and exploitation of international students and precarious contract workers in our system. Change is desperately needed.

@DavidColetto @harryknass Phone📞The Premier at 416-325-1941 (staffed 24/7, usually no wait) and tell @fordnation you believe all school workers deserve a living wage AND you condemn his use of a Constitutional sledgehammer to crush #EducationWorkersRights to collective bargaining. #FordFailedThePeople
