Mental health is a right. We must invest in mental health resources, safer schools, and workplaces where well-being is prioritized. Because caring for our communities means caring for the people who work in them. #WorldMentalHealthDay#PETL#ETFO#FundOurFuture#OntEd#OnLab
Today we echo workers everywhere to say: enough cuts. We need fully funded public services, and workplaces that value people over profits. Decent work is not negotiable; it’s the foundation of justice and dignity for all. #WorldDayForDecentWork#PETL#ETFO#FundOurFuture#OntEd#OnLab
On World Teachers’ Day we celebrate Peel teachers — and demand more. Ontario’s kids deserve smaller classes, more supports, and fully funded public schools. Stop the cuts. Invest in education. #WorldTeachersDay#PETL#ETFO#FundOurFuture#OntEd#OnLab

Today is the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation. Justice Sinclair told us that reconciliation isn’t a spectator sport. It calls us to act. “You’re already involved, whether you like it or not.” Let’s ask ourselves: ‘Are we on the field or on the bench?’ #ETFO#OntEd#OnLab
2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the federal govt’s Truth & Reconciliation Commission Report. The only way forward is through committing to 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

On #InternationalLiteracyDay we affirm that literacy is a 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁, not a privilege. Cuts to public education deny students this right. We fight for fully funded schools so every child can read, write, learn & thrive. #LiteracyDay#ETFO#OntEd#OnLab
Peel Education Workers United to the Peel District School Board: Enough is enough. Workers deserve better. Students deserve better. Stop the cuts to the frontlines.
#ETFO MEDIA STATEMENT: ETFO responds to school board collapse rumour
“To be clear, this is American-style privatization creeping into #OntEd. Their agenda is clear: sideline local voices, starve public schools of funding, and open the door to private interests.”
