FAIRNESS...
LET'S PRACTISE
WHAT WE PREACH
Schools teach children the importance of fair play. But since the school
boards were amalgamated, many of the people working in our schools
aren’t being treated fairly.
Because of amalgamation, people working side by side, doing the same job,
aren’t receiving equal pay or benefits. After eight months of negotiations,
the Avon Maitland District School Board still hasn’t made a fair offer.
We are the people who...
help children with special needs get a complete education
give children the library, computer and audio-visual tools
they need to learn
help students for whom English is a second language
look after the daily business of running our schools
give teachers the classroom resources they need
... and much, much more
It's time to negotiate.
It's time to settle. Ifs time for fairness.
