As educators, parents, guardians and family members we commit to continue to advocate for 2SLGBTQ+ ppl and their rights. Our union calls on school boards to speak out against any attempts to undermine #onted safety for students & ed workers! #onpoli

ETFO has long advocated for the end of standardized testing in #onted and continues to be active in promoting alternatives. As educators, we know that genuine learning is not standardized. Read this to understand why the union thinks EQAO should end etfovoice.ca/feature/end-eqa…

ETFO honours the lives of Two-Spirit, transgender & non-binary people that we've lost due to hate, violence, transphobia, depression, and COVID-19. While we remember the lives taken, it is vital that we continue to fight for equity. #TDOR2022 #onpoli #TransDayOfRemembrance

It's not a labour shortage, it's a movement of workers demanding better – and women are leading the charge. Women who need better wages, access to child care, paid sick days, and more flexible schedules, and aren't taking no for an answer anymore. #canlab 19thnews.org/2021/05/women-l…
