Hello / Bonjour,My name is Mike Briscoe.
I am a proud father and a proud Educational Assistant with three years in our schools. For 13 years, I have also worked as a Screening Officer at Pearson Airport, serving as a site steward and helping negotiate a collective agreement that delivered real gains for our members.
When I joined the school board in 2023, I knew I couldn’t stay silent about the challenges facing education workers—our working conditions are our students’ learning conditions. In spring 2025, I was elected Site Steward at my school, and six months later appointed Lead Mobilizer for this round of bargaining.
I believe in solidarity, collective strength, and the power of members standing together under the purple banner of CUPE 5200. United, organized, and mobilized—we win.
When you know I am out and about in the Mobilizer mobile, please come say hello. Let’s talk, connect and build strength — school by school. 💜
