Some quotes and points from the President’s speech collected from Twitter:
“We have a government that was once our partner in education now attacking our profession.”
“A demoralized workforce DOES affect what happens in classrooms and schools.”
“Our members recognize the challenging circumstances in the province, but did not generate the crisis.”
“ETFO members did not generate fiscal crisis. 2008 financial downturn and government mismanagement did.”
“We must stand united to protect our profession & our collective bargaining rights.”
“I’m not saying MPPs shouldn’t have a gratuity, but how dare you come after my members for the same thing.”
