OCHU/CUPE 2023-2025 central hospital award covering 36,000 hospital workers is out.
Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the IMF, offered a dismal analysis. Ahead was a “sluggish and disappointing decade”. Indeed, “without a course correction, we are … heading for the Tepid Twenties”. thenextrecession.wordpress.com/2024/04/14/the…
Pick a fight with Russia and then say it's up to the guys over there to deal with it. Declining US power is on full display. Who's next to get set up for a fight and then abandoned?

"The Belt and Road Initiative is pivotal in enabling the Global South to reduce its reliance on the West. It's paving the way for a shift towards a multipolar and post-imperialist world order. The West must adapt to this evolving reality" @agent_of_change socialistchina.org/2023/11/22/the…
A new mass grave has been discovered at al-Shifa Hospital where a two-week siege by Israeli forces turned the facility into a graveyard and put what was once Gaza’s largest medical complex out of service ⤵️
“The Ford govt has done nothing to stop these private clinics from extra billing patients.” - Natalie Mehra, executive director of the Ontario Health Coalition
Equal pay? The @fordnation government has (single-handedly) increased inequality for women through its direct role in broader public sector bargaining. And it wants more of the same. socialistproject.ca/2024/03/womens…
As of this year, there is a need for 13,200 additional nurses and 37,700 PSWs in Ontario, said the document, obtained by The Canadian Press through a freedom-of-information request. New LTC beds and extra care hours will create need for even more staff. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
The Ontario Budget plan for expenditure growth (averaging 2.4 per cent annually) is 2% below the projected increase in the service-delivery cost implied by rising population and prices (averaging a combined 4.4 per cent annually). Cuts are planned. tvo.org/article/whats-…
How will the number of family doctors, surgeons and qualified nurses as a percentage of our growing population change? If the provincial government knows, it’s not saying. There's no public goals, no plans. thetrillium.ca/insider-opinio…
Over 250 CUPE hospital workers and allies sent a strong message to SickKids Hospital today, telling them to quit stalling and commit to a decent pension plan.
#CUPE 2816 workers are facing a retirement in poverty because unlike other hospitals in Ontario, SickKids won't commit to a decent pension. Today we went to support these workers who provide skilled and compassionate care to our children.
Rallying for decent pensions at Sick Kids Hospital on University Ave. Right now!
Despite huge increases in funding for Long-Term Care employers (106.7% increase since 2020/21), the number of nurses actually working in Ontario Long-Term Care facilities has declined. Staffing Crisis. PC and @fordnation incompetence.
China's state-led economy continues to out-compete the West. By a long, long way.

The only thing that has been consistent about solar PV forecasts has been how much it has been underestimated, year after year after year. It is a running joke at this point.

@Leftwords Well, for a tiny percentage of the population things were (and are) just peachy. Financialization (what that bad-boy Marx called "fictious capital," which becomes significant as capitalism "evolves") is working effectively to extract profits almost literally from thin air!
