Long Term Occasionals:
Report to the school where you're doing your LTO. The school steward or strike captain will record you on the school's roster.
Everyone:
- This is a legal strike and participation is mandatory.
- Your presence must be registered at the site for strike pay purposes. Look for those wearing the ETFO red touques and make sure that you bring picture identification. Attendance will be taken after Gary speaks. Children are welcome.
You must contact your local office if you require accommodation (can't attend) and you must provide supporting documentation.
Your local office will be open from 4-6 pm on tomorrow, December 10 in order for you to pick up the accommodation form.
- Following our shift of 3 hours we are invited to Amici’s (the old Arizona’s location), at Merrittville Hwy and Beaverdam Rd to a rally and debriefing. I would encourage all Occasional Teachers to stop by from 3 to 5 pm.
We voted 96% in favour of the strike actions we are planning. Even if you are part of the 4% you are expected at the locations mentioned.
- If you're not on LTO, you are expected at one of the MPP offices: Schools are already well covered by their staff. We need you for the political protest portion of this strike action.
