Bargaining for Elementary Occasional Teachers
Many of you have received the updates from Provincial ETFO regarding bargaining at the Central Table, where ETFO negotiates for defined items with the government and the Ontario Public School Boards' Association (OPSBA).
Your TVOT Collective Bargaining (CB) Team has been working on the preliminary submission that we will use when bargaining for local issues with TVDSB and there are several steps to that process:
- After considering the results of our membership survey and considered local priorities, the CB Team presents a Preliminary Submission to the TVOT Executive for their approval.
- After that, the Preliminary Submission, is sent it to Provincial ETFO for their okay to proceed.
- At that stage, the Preliminary Submission is ready to be presented to the membership at an in-person meeting for the approval of those who attend.
- Once that has been received, the Local CB Team is ready to begin negotiations with TVDSB.
