Your Union Dues
Under the Education Act, an elementary teacher who works in the English-language public education
system is represented by ETFO. Some DECEs are ETFO members depending on district school board
employment. Based on this statutory representation, ETFO collects dues to support union activities.
Union dues are determined at the ETFO Annual Meeting each August. Dues are deducted directly from
members’ pay cheques by school boards and submitted to ETFO Provincial Office.
How Are Your Dues Spent?
Local and Provincial Programs
Dues are used to provide funds to provide programs and services to the members through Provincial
Office, and to operate ETFO’s locals. These programs and services include:
O Collective Bargaining,
O Equity and Women’s Programs,
O Leadership Development,
O Political Action and Public Relations (PA/PR),
O Government Relations, Media Relations, Communications,
O Professional Development, and
O Professional Relations (counselling/legal services).
