Proposed GTA Bylaws Vote- November 13
GTA Members, voting season for you isn’t done yet!
At our most recent Rep Assembly Meeting, a movement was made to bring the proposed changes to GTA Bylaws to full Membership for a vote. That movement passed unanimously, 20-0. Per the current Bylaws, the vote will take place next Tuesday, November 13, and requires a “Yes” vote from the majority of membership to pass.
A summary of the changes, as well as the full, specific changes, were shared with membership via district email last week. The Elections Committee has already begun work on vote, and absentee ballots for district-wide teachers have been sent out.
If you need an absentee ballot or any other information about this important vote, please contact the GTA Office at 471-5765. We encourage all members to make your voice known and vote on this measure!

Thanks for visiting us!
With technology evolving constantly, we’re doing the same to keep up with it. We find that our members want our updates to come to them, not for them to have to come here for our updates. So, we’re using this site more as a place to make our general resources available to people. Here you’ll always be able to find the links to our contact and where to buy GTA gear online, Rep Assembly membership and meeting dates- those sorts of things that don’t change too much.
Our mission to reach out to you with news and updates on local GTA news, unionism, and education in general has lead us to use Twitter more and revive our long-dormant Facebook page. We’d love if you followed us on Twitter- you can use the Twitter feed to your right if you’re using a computer, or just click here, and/or Like us on Facebook. We’ll even follow you back! And hey, who doesn’t want more followers?
