Mandatory ETFO Legal Strike Action: Work to Rule, Phase 1
Tuesday, November 26, 2019
All TVOT members need to be aware that as of Tuesday the 26th, we are in a legal strike position.Provincial ETFO has instructed all members that we will begin job action with Work to Rule.
On that first day, all members will meet outside and enter the worksite together. (OTs who come early, will make sure to go outside and re-enter with their peers.
Further strike protocol information is available at www.etfotvot.com so ensure you are registered to receive updates and continue to Wear Red for Ed on Fridays.
To ensure the effectiveness of Phase 1, TVOT members will abide by their Collective Agreement and reply, "Given that we are in Work to Rule, my Union has directed me not to:
- take additional supervision duties
- give up scheduled prep periods
- switch an assignment from what that the OT has accepted."
Remember, our intent is to avoid a full withdrawal of services, so full compliance at this stage is mandatory in hopes of pressuring the government to bargain in earnest.
Please direct any questions regarding ETFO's Work to Rule/Strike to TVOTstrike2019@gmail.com
Now is not the time to take direction from social media!
