All workers deserve to be safe at work. Increasingly, teachers are dealing with conditions that put our health at risk. To address this, employers and employees must work together to identify, diagnose, and take corrective measures.

It is very important that members complete WSH Incident Reports in Employee Connect so issues can be investigated and safety improvements made for all parties. Having accurate data is a big piece of the puzzle.

Note that referrals submitted in PowerSchool are NOT the same as a WSH Incident Report. The former is specifically linked to providing supports and interventions for students, the latter is for the safety of the employee.

All RETSD employees, not just our members, can submit WSH Incident Reports and all parties have representation on the Divisional Workplace Safety and Health Committee.

Please see the resources below for links to help you understand what to report and how to report it, as well as a toolkit from MTS that is designed for you to know your rights.

Land Acknowledgement

The River East Transcona Teachers’ Association recognizes that we are on Treaty One land. We acknowledge that we are settlers to these lands; the original lands of the Anishinabe, Ininíwak, Anishinini(wak), Dakota and Dene peoples, and on the national homeland of the Red River Métis. We recognize that most of our electricity is generated from hydroelectric dams located on Treaty Five territory, and that Winnipeg’s water is sourced from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, located on Treaty Three territory. We acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and present, as well as current systemic barriers that continue to disproportionately disadvantage Indigenous peoples, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with the Indigenous communities in a spirit of seeking truth and acting on reconciliation.
