Our Solidarity and Commitment to One Another Can't Be Defeated
It’s been an eventful few months for the education sector and the labour community in Ontario and I want to begin by saying thank you.

Our Victories Prove We Are Stronger When We Work Together
With bargaining, public campaigns, government submissions, legal challenges, the return to in-person programs at the provincial office and all of the other work that ETFO does in service to our members, the fall has been an extremely busy time.
From the Editor
The winter issue of Voice focusses on the victories ETFO has achieved in solidarity with other education and public sector unions, as well as some of the incredible work our members are doing in the classroom to advance progressive conversations in Ontario and to support their students.
Back for a More "Typical" School Year
Educators are at the heart of Ontario’s public education system and as you settle back into your classrooms for what everyone hopes will be a more typical year in terms of the COVID-19 pandemic, I want to start by saying thank you.
We Will Push the Government to Invest in Public Education
With the school year ramping up and educators settling into your classrooms, I want to start by saying a big thank you.
From the Editor
This fall issue of Voice is delivered as educators across the province settle into the new school year, one where we hope we can all focus on recovery and re-building after the years disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
We Have Done It Before and We Can Do It Again – Together
We know that women, particularly those that are racialized and dealing with precarity in its different forms, bore the brunt of this pandemic.
We Will Continue the Fight for Public Education
The summer issue of Voice is always our women’s issue. It is an opportunity to highlight women’s voices, consider the intersections of our struggles and to talk about the value and impact of ETFO’s women’s programs.
From the Editor
With the summer women’s issue of Voice, we recognize not only the important contributions of ETFO women members but also the differential impacts of the pandemic and all of the cuts from the Ford Conservative government on women and other marginalized groups.
