ETFO locals will now work with their respective school authorities to negotiate local collective agreements. The document is in draft form, although it is complete, and contains all the changes from 2012 to today, as the board of directors and the union have not formally approved the document. In the future, the central and local agreements will somehow be merged into one document, but because of the victory in Appeal Bill 115, we have delayed the completion of the merger. Victory can bring about change. The qualification allowance has also been increased. The new allowance is mentioned below the September 2017 responsibility allowance. Teachers` salaries are separate; the current network is September 2017. This salary plan will come into effect on September 1, 2014. With the transition to central and local collective bargaining, our collective agreement now exists in many parts. Together, central and local collective agreements form completely new framework conditions.
In addition to these documents, there is now the Extension Agreement and the Bill 115 Remediation Agreement. Last night, Monday, November 2, 2020, ETT members voted to ratify our preliminary local agreement. Members of the Elementary Teachers` Federation of Ontario (OCS) voted to adopt key collective agreements with the Government of Ontario, the Ontario Public School Boards Association and the Board of Administrators` Associations: The collective agreement is the agreement ratified by 15 members of district 15 of the FSSO within the Student Professional Services Staff Bargaining Unit (PSW) and the Trillium Lakelands District School Board. which defines the rights and obligations of each party to the employment relationship. Like all collective agreements, it is the result of coordinated and concerted action through collective bargaining and requires constant maintenance. The current collective agreement expired on August 31, 2012. As a result of the Ontario government`s actions in passing Bill 115, the Putting Students First Act, new working conditions that are not included in the collective agreement were introduced. In addition, no new agreements have been reached with the district education office on site. This results in a great deal of confusion among members regarding various aspects of the relationship with the employer. If you have any questions about your work, please contact the District Office for clarification. There is a central collective agreement that includes the Settlement Protocol (MoS), the Memorandum of Understanding (MoA) and the articles.
The central collective agreement (Part A) was negotiated by our provincial representatives, the OPSBA and the Ministry of Education. Please note that the increase in the salary network for years of service and/or qualifications is governed by the contract imposed on members by Bulletin 115 which affects our salary after the 97th day of the school year. This may change depending on the negotiations between ETFO and the government at the central table. The 2% adjustment of the salary network for all ETT members guaranteed by the ETFO Agreement (EP) entered into force on 1 September 2014. The local collective agreement (Part B) was negotiated by your local negotiators. . With the passage of Bill 122, the School Boards Collective Bargaining Act, 2014, all elements with a monetary component at the provincial level are now being negotiated between ETFO, the ministry and the Ontario Public School Boards` Association (OPSBA). Visit the ETFO Collective Bargaining website for more information on the School Boards Collective Bargaining Act, 2014. “Together with our members, we would like to thank parents and other supporters for coming together over the past year to advocate for public education,” Hammond added.
Collective bargaining is what your collective agreement, the document that describes a teacher`s salary, benefits, working conditions, sick leave, leave, protection from arbitrary discipline and much more. “Our goal was to champion public education and the working and learning conditions that have made Ontario`s education system one of the best in the world,” said Sam Hammond, President of ETFO. “While these negotiations have been long and difficult, our educators – with the support of parents and other community members – have remained steadfast in the face of the government`s planned cuts to education.” We`re working on putting them together to create a document, but it`s a moving goal. ETFO also sends an electronic newsletter for collective bargaining only for members. Please ensure that your contact information at ETFO is up to date.
