CUPE 1328 represents education workers across the Toronto Catholic District School Board. Members are already facing serious challenges caused by chronic understaffing and underfunding, which are increasing workloads, leaving students’ needs unmet and making it more difficult for education workers to provide the safe, reliable supports students depend on.
Article content
CUPE 1328 members will have petitions, campaign information, lawn signs and flyers available. The event will also provide an opportunity for parents, community members and labour allies to speak directly with education workers about the realities inside Ontario schools.
