OSSTF D24 Waterloo - T/OTBU

OSSTF/FESSO stands in solidarity with the 55,000 striking workers of CUPW as they continue to face challenges in their recent negotiations with Canada Post. OSSTF members are encouraged to join them on the picket lines and show your support on social media and in conversations with friends and family.

September 30 is dedicated to recognizing and addressing the injustices faced by Indigenous peoples in Canada. OSSTF/FEESO is committed to reconciliation and ensuring that the tragic history and ongoing legacy of Indian Residential Schools are never forgotten. For teaching resources, and to learn more, see our Truth and Reconciliation Resources page.

D24’s Human Rights Committee will meet on Thursday Oct 2.

More than 10,000 workers are on strike, fighting not just for a contract, but for the future of post-secondary education! Ontario has the worst post-secondary underfunding in Canada — and workers are saying enough is enough!
