In today's @Global_Heroes_m insert in the @TorontoStar, #OSSTF Member Fran is profiled! Fran shared how she has always loved being an education assistant, but Doug Ford's cuts to #OntEd are making schools less safe for staff & students! #SaferSchoolsNow globalheroes.com/voices-of-chan…
“People in Ontario should expect better from their government.” Family doctors are speaking out as the Ford government moves to expand pharmacist powers: “this is a band-aid solution and it’s not gonna fix the crisis we have in healthcare.” Full story: toronto.citynews.ca/video/2024/07/…
Therme is a disaster. Doug Ford & his politicians are giving our land away to them + $800 MILLION of your hard earned money. Life is so hard for so many people right now. I'm not going to let him get away with it. manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/famil…
In Ontario, nurse-to-patient staffing ratios are dead last in the country - and they’ve been declining year after year. Patients deserve better. Our nurses & front-line staff deserve better. I’m calling on the government to step in and fix the crisis they’ve worsened. #onpoli

Doug Ford is forcing this strike because LCBO workers think public money should support public services—NOT billionaires! keepitpublic.ca
LCBO workers are making history by striking for the first time in the 97 years of the LCBO. This fight is for everyone in Ontario, to protect public services in our communities that rely on LCBO revenues. It’s on @fordnation to stop the dry summer, tell him to #KeepItPublic
This week's temperatures in #OntEd classrooms reached unacceptable sweltering hot levels. Overcrowding in classrooms & a lack of investment in improved ventilation & air filtration make for unsafe learning conditions. We need to protect staff & students ➡️ bit.ly/45uJnTm
#tvdsb eyes 124 job cuts to reduce $18M deficit. The board blames the deficit on the 13% increase in staff mental health leaves. Why doesn't it ask why staff are on leave? Violence, both physical and verbal, combined with a lack of support??? #onted lfpress.com/news/local-new…
Today, I voted against the govt’s motion to adjourn the legislature until Oct 21 because we need to be here at QP working on solutions to the affordability, housing, healthcare and climate crises. Greens will be working hard to listen to your concerns and hold this govt…
OPINION: "In terms of real dollars, (Ford gov't is) spending less & less on #OntEd w/ each passing year. I believe our gov't sees education as an area where it can make cuts without the public noticing... and our kids are paying the price" #OSSTF #OnPoli torontolife.com/city/ontario-t…
Teacher almost lost pregnancy after repeated punches, others sleep with ‘visions of violence’. Broken legs, broken wrists, concussions! Tell me again why anyone would want to become an educator in today's schools? #onted #cdned #edchat therecord.com/news/waterloo-…
ONA welcomes the arbitration decision released today that includes the most significant wage increase for registered nurses (RNs) and health-care professionals working in the province’s nursing homes in more than 30 years. Read our full release: ona.org/news-posts/202…
WATCH LIVE: Supreme Court is hearing our case against the Ford govt's attempt to silence workers during elections! See below for the live link 👇🏽 #OnPoli #CdnPoli #OntEd #OSSTF
Tomorrow is a pivotal day for democracy & workers' rights! @SCC_eng will hear our case against the Ford gov's attempt to silence workers' voices through unconstitutional legislation + the misuse of the notwithstanding clause. Stay tuned! #OnPoli #CdnPoli cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
BREAKING: Yet again, @InfoFAO reports that the Ford gov's spending on vital public services, such as health care & #OntEd, is BILLIONS lower than announced in Ford's budget! Yet they still have billions hidden away in "contingency funds"... #OnPoli #OnPSE fao-on.org/en/Blog/Public…
If there's anything radical right now in the province of Ontario, it's your government cutting $1500 per student in education funding since 2018 & trying to strip collective bargaining rights from education workers. We are the ones on the side of students & workers in education

Today, on Education Support Personnel Day, we honor and celebrate all the dedicated workers who make invaluable contributions to Ontario's education system. We appreciate everything you do, and we thank you for your unwavering commitment and hard work!
Behind every successful student, there's a team of dedicated education workers. Happy World Education Support Personnel Day! ❤️ #worldespday #onted #osstf
