OPSEU/SEFPO education workers are stepping up their fight for public education after securing their first-ever dedicated bargaining table for 8,500 members in school boards across the province.   

OPSEU/SEFPO issued formal notice to bargain to the provincial government on June 3.  

Earlier this week, OPSEU/SEFPO joined a united front with Ontario’s largest education unions at a press conference on Wednesday to put the Ford government on notice.

Contracts for over 255,000 teachers and education workers are set to expire on August 31, 2026.

Union leaders called on the provincial government to come to the bargaining table without delay to address the crisis of underfunding in Ontario’s public school system.
