Virtual Town Hall Meetings (Jan. 12th & 14th)
Virtual Town Hall Meetings (Jan. 12th & 14th)
Be involved this bargaining year!
Our current Collective Agreement expires at the end of August 2026, and you should have received notice that the provincial OSSTF is preparing for central bargaining. Our local bargaining unit, D25 OTBU, is preparing for local bargaining, where we sit at the table with the OCDSB to discuss the terms of our employment. During these town hall meetings, we will be talking about how the bargaining process works. We need your input!
The OCDSB is also piloting an LTO pool placement process for secondary occasional teachers that is similar to what has been in place for the elementary panel. Many of you may have questions and concerns that will be addressed in these townhalls.
Please RSVP to receive an invite link to the virtual meeting. We have two options scheduled:
January 12th @ 7-8 p.m.
January 14th @ 5-6 p.m.
*You are not required to stay for the full hour.

Local Bargaining Survey is open! (Nov. 25 - Ongoing)
Local Bargaining Survey is open! (Nov. 25 - Ongoing)
Locally, your executive is thinking about next steps in negotiations. About 25% of you responded to the Central Survey. We’d like to beat that for our local survey! As some of you know, we can negotiate a variety of items at the local level. Last round, we were successful in removing the 5-year cap on OT experience, allowing all LTO and casual days worked to count fully towards experience for grid placement, and gaining recognition for Cont. Ed. Experience for grid placement. While your Executive may have some ideas as to what Occasional Teachers are most concerned with, we want to hear from you directly. Click here for Local Bargaining Survey.
As we did for the Central Survey, there will be prizes available to participants. We’ll be drawing 2 names per month from now until the end of February for gift cards and OSSTF swag. We’re also putting out a call for members to join the Collective Bargaining Committee – this group is responsible for putting together the Negotiating Brief and sitting across the table from the Board’s negotiating committee. If you are interested in this committee, please reach out to the OTBU president at karen.vandewint@d25.osstf.ca.

#Red4Ed (Dec. 5th and first Friday of each month)
#Red4Ed (Dec. 5th and first Friday of each month)
Bill 33 passed into law last week, making it easier for Education Minister Calandra to put more school boards under supervision, eliminating parent voices and making it easier to underfund Ontario schools. OSSTF District 25 members will join our elementary teacher colleagues in wearing #Red4Ed on the first Friday of each month. We'll build solidarity within our worksites and across the country as we protect and enhance public education.
OTBU members who are interested in political action, should contact Susan.Rab@d25.osstf.ca
