Don't React to Rumours
At the time of this writing, CUPE educational workers have given notice that they will withdraw services effective Monday, October 7/19. Until then, ETFO Occasional Teachers will continue to cover permanent Teacher absences but refrain from taking on the struck work of our fellow CUPE colleagues. In Thames Valley, this includes, School Secretaries, Educational Assistants, Early Childhood Educators, Custodians and assorted school support personnel. TVDSB is still considering their options for next week but as of 1 PM today, there has been no notice that schools will close.
To keep informed, we remind TVOT members to activate their accounts at www.etfotvot.com as soon as possible!
