We are planning a Zoom Town Hall Meeting
Tonight from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm
The zoom meeting link will be sent to you before the meeting to your personal email you provided the Executive.
We will explain why the employers offer and try to answer most of your questions.
October 27th, 2026
Dear members,
This weekend, we were hoping that government and the Employers would come back to
the table, knowing that a strike is looming. Instead of taking the opportunity to settle
our contract before job action, they’re trying to wait us out.
If government and the Employers do not present your bargaining teams with a deal that
gets every school support worker at least $3.50 an hour in wage increases over four
years, we will issue our 48-hours notice of strike action on Friday, in preparation for
a province-wide strike on Monday, November 2 nd .
We know you’re ready. Stay vigilant. When we stand together, we win together!
In solidarity,

YOUR VOICE. YOUR CONTRACT. YOUR FUTURE.
BARGAINING UPDATE – 14 September, 2026
Dear members,
Years ago, you and your colleagues fought for employers to pay a portion of your extended
health and dental insurance premiums as part of your compensation. In this round, your
bargaining committees province wide have asked employers to take on a greater share of
that cost. The proposal to increase the employer’s share of the premium would put
hundreds of dollars back in your pockets every year, without jeopardising access to the
critical supports your extended benefits provide.
No member should feel sick over the cost of health and dental care.
Email your local president to tell them you’ll help info-picket in your community throughout
September! Or, if you want to get involved to win a good contract, join our political action
check-ins Wednesday evenings from 6pm – 7pm. We meet on Zoom with this

When we stand together, we win together!
