BILL 124 AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL ATTACK ON PUBLIC SECTOR WORKERS THAT MUST BE RETROACTIVELY REPEALED

TORONTO, ON – The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) strongly believes Bill 124 circumvents the legal framework for negotiations set out by the School Boards Collective Bargaining Act, which requires parties to engage in good faith bargaining. It is a clear violation of ETFO members’ freedom of expression and association guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
