We’re looking forward to seeing OC ETFO members out this summer at these important events. Please ensure we have a way to contact you outside of your @ocdsb.ca email —> SET UP MY ALTERNATIVE CONTACT INFORMATION
On August 24, OC ETFO will once again be marching for love & unity! Join the 2SLGBTQ+ Committee, colleagues, and allies as we stand as a union in the 2025 Capital Pride Parade. Sign up to march with us.
Many things we take for granted can be attributed to the hard work of our union member forbearers: Safer working conditions, shorter workdays, better wages (including vacation and overtime pay), paid sick days and programs such as Employment Insurance, as well as public pensions are just some of the examples of the important contributions of the labour movement.
Moreover, Canadians can thank union workers for human rights protections, such as those from harassment and discrimination. In short, labour’s contribution has been huge. Unions continue to ensure that workers are given what they deserve.
Come and celebrate the union movement with your teacher colleagues and workers from across Ottawa on Monday, September 1st. This year again, we will be marching with our ACORN Ottawa community activist colleagues. Sign up to march with us.
