Public safety is a provincial responsibility, but how safe is Ontario as the premier lets public safety inspectors languish on strike?
We’re proud of the work we do as TSSA inspectors. All we want is a fair contract – it’s what everyone should have as we celebrate Labour Day.
But Doug Ford is making that impossible for us.
If you agree that people deserve respect at work, union standards, and fair treatment – send an email right now to the Premier to get it done! Get it done!
OSSTF/FEESO is committed to providing members with quality professional development. The Educational Services Department is looking for active members to create a workshop on mental health and a workshop on addressing poverty. Members who are interested must have strong writing skills and/or presentation skills as well as strong understanding of the subject matter. Members must also have the ability to obtain time release (that will be paid for by OSSTF/FEESO).
The Provincial Executive is seeking up to eight (8) Members who have been part of OSSTF/FEESO for (8) years or less, to serve on the New Member Engagement Advisory Work Group (NMEAWG) for a two-year term.

Summer days are getting shorter, and the evenings are getting cooler. Before you know it, you are at the mall for “back to school shopping” for you and your family, and maybe even for the classroom.
As you prepare for the new school year, you may be thinking and finding ways to re-engage, refresh, and re-imagine what the new school year will bring, and how you can best enhance or support the learning experience for students in your community. Fall is also a good time to take stock of your own personal goals including those that support your health, wellness and financial security.
As members of the Ontario education community, you also have access to exclusive contests, promotions and special offers, including Edvantage–your exclusive savings program.

It is hard to believe that Labour Day is only one month away and we can’t wait to celebrate the day with you and your family!
The United Way Labour Day Picnic is a great way to end your summer. Your local labour community has provided food and entertainment to make your day special! All we ask for in return is a pay-what-you-can donation to the United Way Waterloo Region Communities. New this year, we will have “tap” payment available, so you don’t need to bring any cash!
Better yet reach out to the United Way to find out how you can volunteer to help out for the day!
This year’s picnic is special to us as it has been renamed in honour of our Labour Council’s past Treasurer Ed Weidinger. Ed Weidinger was the WRLC Treasurer for over 25 years – the longest-serving Labour Council Treasurer when he died in April 2021. He was a life-long labour activist and dedicated to improving the lives of all Waterloo Region workers. Our community Labour Day Picnic and BBQ has been renamed in his honour.
We can’t wait to see you!
