Dear Members,
Unions work when the collective membership comes together. OSSTF Toronto has a unique opportunity to engage in just such a show of solidarity this Monday, November 4th at 5PM at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
Come to hear from OSSTF President Harvey Bischof about the challenges at the central table.
Come to hear from PSSP President Kim Perry, OTBU President Linda Bartram and TTBU/District President Leslie Wolfe about the challenges of bargaining with the TDSB, and about the issues facing each of us in local bargaining.
Come to have your questions answered.
Come to experience the empowered feeling that being part of this kind of collective action can bring. Come together to support each other, and our bargainers, in the fight for a fair deal.
Wear your Red4Ed. Get on one of the 20 chartered buses leaving from various locations across the city, and head on down together. To reserve a seat, click this link, then scroll down the page to see the bus locations. Sign up for the one that’s most convenient for you. When you arrive, there will be food.
Reimbursement for parking, TTC and childcare is also be available, using the attached form and instructions.
Wear your wristband for easy entry to the meeting. Arrive without a wristband? No problem. Show your photo ID and we’ll give you a wristband there.
This is a rare opportunity for the thousands of OSSTF Toronto Members to come together. Don’t miss this chance to stand in solidarity with teachers, occasional teachers and education workers from across the TDSB as we begin the process together of embarking on strike votes in support of our central table and local table priorities.
If you have questions about this meeting, or about bargaining, please contact your bargaining unit office.
