Doug Ford you need to stop treating everything like a business. Stop treating everything like it's YOUR business. Gtfoh with your sticky, whitea$$ fingers #onpoli #osstf
Ford gov says supply cards will end teachers paying for classroom supplies. But as #OSSTF President Martha Hradowy told CTV, the announcement is really an admission of underfunding.
“It’s like handing a firefighter a cheque & telling them to buy a hose before they put out a fire.”

School boards, teachers, education workers, principals, students, parents & advocates call on the gov't to halt takeovers & consult w/ #OntEd partners.
“Decisions about schools should not be taken out of communities & handed to political insiders" - #OSSTF President Martha Hradowy: bit.ly/4bl5Wxp
Congrats to Stewart Babcock from Napanee! He is an #OSSTF Student Achievement Award regional winner for his beautiful painting of swans inspired by this year's theme 'Together Is Greater Than One'.

“It’s very upsetting, the choices that are being made right now. I do think that it will negatively impact the student experience.”
Koreen, an #OSSTF member at #Brock spoke out as support staff are losing their jobs while the university cites fiscal challenges and “restructuring.” bit.ly/40I6acI
“We just want to get to work.”
#OSSTF President @marthahradowy.bsky.social says #OntEd unions are ready to get to work to stabilize public schools and ensure students & staff have the supports they need. We urge the gov't to reconsider in the best interest of students & families: bit.ly/401I5xv
Ontario’s 5 major #OntEd unions are united in calling for early bargaining!
Teachers & education workers see firsthand how underfunding is affecting students. Ontario's publicly funded education system must be properly supported so every student can learn, grow, and thrive: bit.ly/46AZAZ5 #OSSTF

Solidarity with the United Steelworkers Local 2020 bus drivers at Alouette Bus Lines.
Drivers safely transport students every day and deserve a living wage. No worker should have to fight just to make ends meet. #OSSTF #OntEd

ICYMI: While the gov't announced new funding for universities and colleges, it is also downloading more costs onto students by cutting OSAP grants.
Postsecondary education is the future of this province and it must be accessible and affordable. #OnPSE #OSSTF

Appeal to the unions about the changes to #OSAP. Many members were once students. Our young people could use the help of more & strong voices!

Looking for a good weekend podcast?
#OSSTF VP Colin Matthew joined The Big Story podcast to discuss Ontario's school board takeovers and what it means for students.
With $6.3B cut from #OntEd since 2018, students are facing larger classes, fewer supports, and ongoing instability.

#OSSTF President Martha Hradowy spoke to the press this week on #OntEd school board takeovers:
“These are not school board failures. They are predictable results of years of underfunding.” Supervision won’t fix problems. It’s a distraction from chronic underfunding.

#OSSTF President @marthahradowy.bsky.social joined student trustees, union partners, and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association to call out the government’s takeover of seven school boards.
Takeovers are not solutions. Students need funding, stability, and real support. #OntEd #OnPoli
Despite claims of “historic” investment, Ontario is spending less on post-secondary education as a share of GDP than in 2018. Even with new funding, the province remains thousands of dollars per student behind the national average.
Students and workers deserve better. #OSSTF

#OSSTF releases official statement on support staff layoffs at #BrockU.
www.osstf.on.ca/en-CA/news/o...
#canlab #cdnpse
STATEMENT: Support staff keep post-secondary institutions running.
#OSSTF stands with OSSTF/FEESO District 35 – Brock University Support Staff in the face of proposed layoffs and restructuring marked by uncertainty and a lack of transparency.
Full statement: bit.ly/3MmcyCX
Supervision isn’t bringing stability. It’s just more uncertainty, more cuts & more disruption to learning.
As #OSSTF President Hradowy says: Students & ed workers are paying the price for yrs of underfunding & decisions that have ignored conditions in #Onted schools.

BREAKING: PC gov't has put PDSB under supervision & YCDSB “on notice". This level of gov't interference in Ontario’s education system is unprecedented & raises serious questions about the govt’s real motives. Yrs of underfunding & staffing shortages remain unaddressed. #OntEd #OSSTF
