Collective Bargaining Training Conference - November 2011

On November 17-18, 2011 over 300 leaders from ETFO locals across the province gathered at the Sheraton Airport Hotel in Toronto to receive training for the 2012 round of collective bargaining. Attendees participated in a CB game show, attended workshops on developing skillsets and messaging in the age of social media, and heard addresses by ETFO President Sam Hammond and Wisconsin Education Association Council (WEAC) President Mary Bell. A second CB training session will take place in February 2012.
