MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT RE: HWDSB PRESS RELEASE ON NEGOTIATIONS

Members may have read or viewed media reports on negotiations taken from a HWDSB press release issued on late Friday.


It is unfortunate that the Board has released these statements considering they have been unwilling to discuss any monetary items.


OSSTF District 21 Teachers’ Unit will continue to work with the Board towards a fair local deal that protects our members’ working conditions and professionalism. Note that discussions between our provincial organization and the Ontario government also remain ongoing.


District 21 will be issuing a press release following our strike vote on Wednesday.


Yours in solidarity,


Chantal Mancini

President, Teachers' Bargaining Unit
