2. Provincially organized town halls where we invite members & the public. Call the town halls “Getting our schools open safely & for the long term”. Make it clear that schools are closed because of Ford's inaction & that this instability will continue without real change.

Not only is that what I would do as President of OSSTF, a lot of it is what I did do as an organizer in the summer. It’s why we went from $20 million to $400 million of extra school funding.

It’s important for unions to have conversations at official tables, but when the answer is “no" at that table you go outside, into your communities and build the pressure to get a “yes”.
