a Toonie, a Loonie & a Quarter
Educational Assistants – Pam Hurford & Diana Taylor in support of advocating for – Respect and gains needed in our public education system. OSBCU President Laura Walton “This fight is not our fight but it is the 55,000 Education Workers across this province”. Education workers deserve a substantial wage increase. A raise of $3.25 – as Laura says “its a toonie, a loonie and a quarter each hour” in each year of the collective agreement is an entirely affordable, reasonable and necessary demand in light of a decade of wage restraint and high rates of inflation. #EducationWorkersTogether #CountMeIn
Education Worker Wednesdays! Promote the Power of Purple!

Bargaining Update September 19, 2022
LOCAL Bargaining Update
Today, September 12, 2022 your local CUPE 5678 bargaining team, met with the Upper Canada District bargaining team.
Today we were successful in agreeing to ground rules, which includes language that we will be doing transparent bargaining. This means we will be much freer to discuss with the membership and general public on what is happening at the local bargaining table. If at any time you have any questions about the bargaining process please feel free to reach out to a member of the bargaining team.
For more information on the strike vote, update on bargaining and a strike hardship fund, please attend our special membership meeting this Saturday September 17, 2022 online at 10 am. The link has been sent to your CUPE 5678 email.
We must all stand together at this time.
