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

Watch this space 👇

The union representing education workers in Ontario will release the results of a strike vote tomorrow morning. CUPE's OSBCU president Laura Walton will hold a news conference at 10am — three days before negotiations with the province are set to resume. #onpoli

This is my 89 year old Mom waiting in the #Ptbo hospital garage for 4 hours to be triaged. She has severe parkinson's disease, dementia and covid. She was being treated by her nursing staff in her residence but was brought in due to a fall....con't #OntarioIsBroken

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

Private Private Transfer companies stand to make a windfall on mileage moving #ALC #LTC patients all over Ontario, outside geographic borders. Hospitals and families will be stuck with the costs. Just one more way to siphon public money. Thank Doug Ford and non-voters. #bill7


Devastating read.

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
