Get Rid of Regulation 274 Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/get-rid-of-regulation-274.html Online petition signatures en-us Wed, 8 Apr 2026 10:13 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Anonymous [Signature #324] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/23486063?utm_medium=rss Ontario Ministry of Education must cut ties with OPSEU, CUPE, OECTA, AEFO, ETFO, OSSTF and APSSP. They have a monopolistic attitude in the education sector.

Also it is time here in Ontario, to start introducing and legalize charter schools. Both rural and urban schools will benefit from this cause.

By simply prioritizing seniority and on record experience over being a true and qualified candidate, we risk getting teachers who are not a great fit into our schools. No other profession does this. This is absolutely ludicrous.

Teachers have to weigh life changes that would require them to move against the loss of all their seniority. Students don't get the best teachers because (even if you assume experience is quality - which it is not necessarily) inexperienced teachers are hired ahead of teachers who moved and senior teachers can be stuck unable to move and less happy as a result.

After working for a board in Toronto as a permanent teacher for almost 5 years, I had to move closer to my parents for personal reasons. I was hired by three different school boards in my new area and had to take an enormous pay cut. I am on my second year of occasional teaching and cannot get an interview for permanent vacancies or LTO's because I lack the seniority. This is extremely unfair since I have the experience behind me. I already put my time in as a substitute teacher early on in my career. To "pay my dues" again seems extremely unfair, unjust and to be frank- unproductive and downright insane.

Plain and simple. Immoral, illegal, unethical and wrong. No professional should be hired based on how long they have been sitting on a list. REAL professionals are hired based on a combination of merit, experience, qualifications and references. Kathleen Wynne should be ashamed of herself that she has not repealed or amended this. The fact that any qualified teacher has to start over at the bottom of a supply list when he or she moves boards is another example of discrimination. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Where is Trudeau on this matter? Weren't Trudeau and Wynne both teachers? Reg 274 is wrong and discriminatory.

Although the government of Ontario brought in the regulation, the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario supports it because, according to them... “the principle of seniority is at the core of ensuring fairness in unionized workplaces.” Ah. no. That has nothing to do with fairness at all. Actually, it promotes the opposite. There should not be a limit on how many people can apply and like any other job, the best candidate should get the job. The policy is discriminatory, unfair and utterly ridiculous.
