FYI @fordnation - we are one of the biggest private sector unions in the province, and NO, we do not have a “good relationship.” We are with @CUPEOntario @cupenat #39kIsNotEnough #ONLab
I'm reading @CUPEOntario's response to the Ontario government's illegal strike application. Some points: - top notch lawyers from @GPLLP are counsel - Government named CUPE-Ontario as respondent, but "CUPE Ontario" is not a union. Suspect that OLRB will permit correction here.
Opseu 489 rebukes Ford’s use (AGAIN) of the notwithstanding clause to circumvent workers’ charter rights. We stand with our peers in CUPE.
🧵 Here’s a short thread explaining why the Ford government’s move today is history-making and extremely alarming. It’s DEFCON 1 for all workers. 1/
📢 After an 11-week strike @opseulocal546 TSSA inspectors have reached a deal! They fought to improve working conditions to ensure a safer Ontario for all. They bravely took on the Ford government and won. Their victory is for all workers and everyone who supports them. #onpoli
#Solidarity can win! Striking #TSSA workers have reached a tentative deal. Strong picket lines and solidarity from other unions forced the employer and the government back to the table. This shows that Ford's anti-worker agenda can be beaten. #StrikeForSafety #Strike #Union
Ontario’s 55,000 education workers, members CUPE, have sent a clear message to the Ford govt with a 96.5% strike vote. The union is determined to reverse years of cuts and secure a fair wage increase for workers who are paid on avg just $39K/year.🧵 @osbcucscso #canlab #onpoli

This is a banner with names of children who died at residential schools. It is so long, it takes about three dozen people to march it.
If you hear professionals saying "That's just behavioural" you are witnessing views that build the kind of culture seen on #BBCPanorama
NEW: a loss in a court challenge by unions of Premier Doug Ford’s 2019 Bill 124 public sector wage restraint legislation could cost the province $8.4b in retro pay and higher pay, Ontario’s Financial Accountability Office estimates in report out today. #onpoli
Thanks to everyone who showed up for our rally today and to all the motorists who waved and honked! 😊 We really appreciated the support!
Unanimous consent from Local leaders at the @osbcucscso to proceed to a provincial strike vote for 55,000 members who have had their bargaining proposals treated like crap from @Sflecce

Abbott banned abortion in cases of rape. Last night, he told victims of rape that they’ll be fine because he’ll give them “baby supplies” after forcing them to give birth to their rapist’s child. This election is about ending Abbott’s attacks on women. We are voting him out.

@StevieJohnstonU @CUPE4153Blake @osbcucscso @Sflecce So you think the 30 cent per hour raise for people making less than $40K a year for full-time work is reasonable? No blame on the govt at all? How selfless of you.

There is a big role for unions to be playing in #DefundThePolice, for us first thing first, we need @queensu to stop giving them large sums of money to further police our members
It looks like people in downtown Ottawa will have to organize their own community safety, self-defence, and mutual aid. Can the unions play some role in this? #DefundThePolice
Great job on the CBC The Current Dr. Stephanie Ross from McMaster Labour Studies! Let's hope we see that wave of unionization among essential workers and others soon!
Happy to have talked with Matt Galloway about the way essential workers are being treated in the pandemic. One takeaway: for employers and governments, it’s the *work* that’s essential, not the workers or their well-being. That’s not sustainable #canlab #labourstudies #cdnpoli
Let's talk?! It isn't that we aren't talking. @PSAC901 has been at the table for months now asking for better mental health supports for graduate student workers. @QueensPrincipal when is it #QueensU Listens? #ValueOurWork
People, what is the story behind Switch Health? Who are they? How did they get the contract to deal with pandemic cross border entry? How long does the contract last? Who else bid on the contract? Why aren't these measures publicly provided? Is anyone looking at them? #cdnpoli
Forgotten on the Covid Frontline We talk about doctors, nurses, teachers - but people like @rechevbrowne are the forgotten ones. He works at a grocery store and says every day feels like the first day of the pandemic for him.
The only reason the health system hasn’t completely collapsed is because of the professionalism & sacrifices of health workers who are continuing to work even while short staffed. Even during #OnStorm, health workers are holding the health system together. Not the government.
The downward trendline in Canadian hospital capacity tracks back to the steadily declining share of federal contributions, in the face of an aging and growing population. We need more than silence from the federal government as the premiers call for increased funding.
