SIGN THE PETITIION TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT!

As this is Election Day let's get rallied UP about the Ontario School Labour Negotiations! This needs our IMMEDIATE ATTENTION!

Ontario Students have been affected by the Labour Negotiations that are currently on-going.

Recently, the Waterloo Region District School Board cancelled ALL the weekend school permits. The permit cancellations may even include after school weekday cancellations in the future if things are not resolved.

Many clubs and sports organizations rely on these school gyms to run their programs. Without these gyms the programs would not be able to exist.

Let's show our government that we are upset and we need to get these negotiations worked out. Our children are being affected and it's gone on for too long!

SIGN THE PETITION and pass it on to all your friends and social media, including facebook, twitter, instagram, etc! THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

QUOTE FROM THE WRDSB Website:

Educational Support Staff/Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (ESS/OSSTF) and the Custodial and Maintenance Association/Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (CAMA/OSSTF) are currently in ongoing province-wide labour negotiations with the Government of Ontario and the Ontario Public School Boards Association (OPSBA). As a result, members of ESS/OSSTF and CAMA/OSSTF are taking part in a legal job sanctions.

During these job sanctions, we have encountered situations where our usual service levels have been limited. This includes our ability to supervise and schedule overtime for custodians and provide necessary back-up coverage to support our Community Use and Rentals Groups. This has resulted in health, safety, and security risks for our community participants as well as our school facilities. Therefore, weekend Community Use of Schools and Rental Permits in our school sites will be cancelled starting on Saturday, October 17, 2015. This cancellation will remain in effect until further notice. Potential to secure permits for future weekends will be placed on hold. Additionally, the WRDSB will continue to monitor the feasibility of continuing to offer weekday Community Use of Schools and Rental Permits
