2019-2020 Update

Hello Members,

Did you ever think 2019-2020 was going to end???

CONGRATULATIONS, you did it!!!

You have survived 2019-2020.

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your hard work during this school year. It has been a difficult year, and everyone rose to the occasion. We made it through Provincial bargaining, Job Action and even historical Job Action that included all affiliates banning together! We ratified Provincially and in the middle of that, COVID19 struck. We are still dealing with issues surrounding it. Then came distance learning, and next we went into local discussions, with the Board, first with the permanent teachers and next with the occasional teachers. We ratified both of those deals and we are preparing for what the Fall will look like!!

Whew…Everyone needs a break!

Make sure to take the time this summer to de-stress and relax and enjoy the simple things in life. The Fall will likely look different to any Fall we have had in the past. We do not know at this point, which of the three scenarios will be in effect. Just know OECTA Provincial and OCSTA will be in discussions, as the summer unfolds, making sure our CAs and working conditions are being followed and the Joint Health and Safety Committee will be making sure our members are safe.

A reminder that the office officially closes for summer and will re-open near the end of August.

Stay safe everyone.

In Solidarity,

Kelly McNeely PVNC Unit President
