Our priority is clear: meaningful bargaining that delivers for teachers, education workers, students, and their families.

Instead, negotiations have stalled as the Ford government pushes to move local issues under provincial control.

As President Martha Hradowy told CBC News this week, this is part of a troubling pattern of centralizing decision-making at Queen's Park.

Our members are heading back to schools focused on what matters most: supporting students and strengthening public education. The Ford government should be just as focused on meaningful bargaining and addressing the challenges facing our schools.

JOINT STATEMENT: Minister Calandra said he was confident new collective agreements could be reached before the end of summer.

August 31 has come and gone, and more than 275,000 teachers and education workers are heading into the school year without new contracts.

The problem is bigger than missed timelines. Ontario’s publicly funded education system is under immense strain, and the Ford government is trying to take even more decision-making away from local communities and concentrate it at Queen’s Park.

Together with our education affiliates, we are calling for respect for the bargaining process, meaningful negotiations, and real action on the challenges facing students and education workers.
