| VP Nancy Springer and Pres Terry Card protest outside Maple Leaf Gardens Liberal Leadership Convention January 26, 2013 |
On behalf of the Local, let us express our appreciation to the Occasional Teachers who gave up their Saturday and joined 15000 others on January 26th to rally in protest at the Ontario Liberal Leadership Convention.
As Martin Luther King Jr. once commented, 'Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.' Let us hope new Liberal leader Kathleen Wynne is willing to undo some of the injustices of Bill 115 and restore bargaining rights to us all.
Strike Pay
The Local has just received word from ETFO Provincial that we will receive strike pay cheques by week's end for those who participated in ETFO's legal strike December 20, 2012. Be assured we will endeavour to get these out in the mail as soon as possible for we know how tight funds are for many members as daily teaching assignments continue to dwindle.
Workplace Violence Survey
A reminder to members to check the Occasional Teacher Folder on TVDSB First Class to participate in the online Workplace Violence Survey so that the Joint Health and Safety Committee can identify your needs and address your concerns.
