NEW: ETFO says it will not accept the binding arbitration deal the province is offering teachers unions.

“The Ford government cannot be trusted,” says ETFO president Karen Brown.

Instead, the union wants conciliation for this round of bargaining.

It's absolutely wild that teachers have to fight tooth and nail against the government and boards of education just to secure improvements for students! #onted #cdned #edchat

It's curious OSSTF would agree to this now

Parties can always agree to refer dispute to arb if it makes sense once bargaining reaches impasse. Later.

So ask yourself why would OSSTF surrender strike threat now, 2 months' before a random date in October?

Who benefits from this?

The following is from the most recent contract of teachers in Brandon, MB where they implemented a COLA clause. This is exactly how #etfo 's proposal could work and it isn't difficult. It would give teachers wage protection and eliminate any fight over compensation. #onted

NEW: Who’s been talking to Premier Doug Ford?

Global News attempted to access the calls logs of the Premier’s cell phone (for gov’t related business)

The request was denied, because the government said it doesn’t have access.

NEW: Ontario’s Integrity commissioner is being asked to expand his Greenbelt probe to include communications on Doug Ford’s personal cell phone.

We are hearing about the arbitration that the nurses had… about male dominated sectors like police, fire, and power workers getting substantial raises, and we have a government who budgeted for a 1.25% increase for educators. It's time to stand! #onted

BREAKING: Premier Doug Ford directly contradicts the AG report into his gov't Greenbelt dealing.

'No one had preferential treatment,' Ford claims.

The AG specifically says developers handed the government packages of land to remove -- and the gov't complied.

David Simms (he/him) Elementary Educators I say to #etfo members, sign below to apply pressure ETFO to hold a strike vote! And pass it on.

No shocker: CBC investigation finds Doug Ford’s developer buddies own land he cut out from the Greenbelt

While attacking low-wage workers with notwithstanding, Ford PCs’ were boosting their buddies’ wealth by millions

But he’s in it “for the little guy” cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

So why have we wasted a year with this pathetic excuse of a government? They have never had the intention of bargaining in good faith. A strike vote is necessary. #onted

An immediate 15% grid adjustment plus 3% per year for the duration of this contract is only fair given the massive wage suppression #onted has endured over the past decade. #etfo #osstf #oecta #aefo

#onted teachers have 'enjoyed' an 8.5% increase in wages since 2012 and yet inflation during that time has been 29.3%. It's well past time teachers received a 'catch up' raise! #etfo #osstf #oecta #aefo

The cost of teaching without the protections afforded by a union are too great for me. Encouraging student teachers to take on this labour will expose the most vulnerable in our profession to even more harm (legally, professionally, etc.). #OntEd

Congratulations to NZ teachers who have been offered a 2 year 14.5% wage increase! If accepted, this will mean teacher salaries have increased 36% since 2017! Looks like #etfo #osstf #oecta and #aefo have a lot of work to do! miragenews.com/historic-pay-o…
