In this episode we discuss a proposal from grassroots educational support staff in Ontario to change the name of their union from the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) to the Ontario Support Staff and Teachers Federation (OSSTF). We provide background on the role of support staff historically in Ontario and their membership in education unions and how it has changed over the years to today. The support staff discuss their rationale for the proposal alongside a teacher whose union district agreed to bring it forward to the union’s annual meeting happening in March.
