SUMMARY:PROVINCE-WIDE DAY OF ACTION
DESCRIPTION:SAVE THE DATE: Wednesday\, April 29\, 2026\nBefore the end of the school year\, your union is organizing province-wide actions to demonstrate solidarity and build momentum. Together\, we must show the government that educators across Ontario are prepared to act for our students and secure improvements for working and learning conditions in the 2026 round of central bargaining. \nProvincially\, our next collective action is the Day of Action on Wednesday\, April 29. This is a simple but powerful way to showcase ETFO’s strength and raise awareness about the urgent need for increased investment in public education to support student resources and smaller class sizes. \nAction\nLet’s button up!  \nWe need your support to activate your workplace for the Day of Action\, with every member wearing a button and red clothing on April 29.  Be sure to include DECE\, ESP\, PSPs and OT members at your workplace. \nBy wearing a smaller classes\, BIG DIFFERENCE button or sticker on the same day and posting on social media\, members\, education workers\, parents\, and community allies create a visual message that emphasizes the urgent need for investment in our schools. \nContact your Released Officer to arrange for them to come to your school to support your staff on the 29th!\nResource\nTo learn more about the tasks that every steward needs to complete before April 29 and on the Day of Action\, check out the April 29 Day of Action plan. \nYou can access the Day of Action plan and other resources from the member secure site by following these three easy steps.\n\nLog in to members.etfo.ca.\nVisit the new Stewards Resource section located under the ETFO tab.\nLook for the Campaigns folder and open the smaller classes BIG DIFFERENCE folder.\n\nA new resource titled “April 29 Day of Action Speaking Points” has also been added to the Member Secure site. This information sheet will assist you in speaking with members and answering questions. After logging in to members.etfo.ca\, the document is available at https://members.etfo.ca/etfo/stewards/stewards-resources-2/political-action-and-campaigns. \nWhy a Day of Action?\nBy wearing a smaller classes\, BIG DIFFERENCE button or sticker on the same day\, members\, parents\, and community allies send a visible\, united message that highlights the urgent need for government investment in education. \nThis collective\, province-wide action aims to spark conversations\, raise awareness\, and demonstrate that increased funding for public education and smaller class sizes are shared priorities. \nNOTE: Buttons and stickers were distributed at the Steward Plus One Meeting. If your workplace did not receive the smaller classes BIG DIFFERENCE buttons/stickers\, please contact your local ASAP! \n  \nSpread the Word!\nShare a message with members in your workplace and online using our shareable image.\nAsk members to save the date of Wednesday\, April 29\, for the province-wide Day of Action.\nDownload the Day of Action shareables from the Stewards Resource section on members.etfo.ca. \n\nNew Know Your Rights Resource – PowerPoint\nTo help you inform members about their rights to participate in union actions in the workplace\, we have created a handy slide deck\, titled “Your Rights at Work PowerPoint 2026.” \nThis resource provides an overview of roles\, rights\, and professional responsibilities. Every member should be familiar with this information. Access the PowerPoint in the Stewards Resources section under the Workplace Rights tab. \nIf you are logged in to the member site\, visit workplace rights. \nREMEMBER: Locally\, in conjunction with OSSTF and OCEOTA\, we’re increasing our visibility by wearing red to ed every Friday starting March 27th. If you’re able to take photos of your actions Friday actions\, please send to office@ocetfo.org.

SUMMARY:ETFO All Members' Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Central bargaining preparations are progressing\, and as we organize for the province-wide Day of Action on April 29\, it is also important to plan ahead for the expiry of our collective agreements. \nIn preparation for all possible scenarios related to central bargaining\, our provincial union is holding all-member information meetings where a provincial released officer will explain key aspects of our 2026 central bargaining strategy\, including priorities\, the process\, and information about the central strike vote.  The meeting will be held after school and is open to all ETFO members working for the district board in our area. \nAttendance at the meeting is vital to ensure you and every member understand central bargaining\, how the union is approaching this round\, and what might come next. This meeting is also an opportunity for you to get your questions answered. Your participation in the All-Member Meeting strengthens our collective power! Please plan to attend.
