Build Your Union Strong
As we continue to build a strong, high participation union, it is important to have Regional Organizers (RO) ready to lead.
Following the RO election process in June, there are currently RO vacancies in the following three wards: Ward 6, Ward 17, and Ward 20.
As per the ETT Constitution and Bylaws, ETT will now be accepting self nominations from interested ETT members in schools in these wards.
*In the event that no Regional Organizer is elected for a TDSB Ward, the ETT Executive will appoint a Regional Organizer.
Take an active role in YOUR union: self-nominate and become a Regional Organizer.
