An emergency rally has just been called to demand respect for teachers and support for public education. It is crucial that union members and community allies come out in big numbers to protest the government’s proposed anti-collective bargaining legislation.
A joint rally has been called by ETFO, OSSTF, and CUPE at Queen’s Park in Toronto on Tuesday, August 28 from noon to 1:30 pm.
Premier Dalton McGuinty has recalled the Legislature early in order to introduce legislation that will impose contracts upon all teachers and education workers, even though the unions do not legally negotiate with the province. This attack on the collective bargaining rights of teachers is unprecedented and undemocratic and it must not go unopposed. Call on your members, friends and neighbours to stand up for the rights of all workers in Ontario and protest this cynical and politically motivated attack.

We hope to see you at Queen’s Park on Tuesday.
