The cost of groceries has risen 11.4%.
Meanwhile, when adjusted for inflation, workers are making less now than last year.
So while CEOs line their pockets, workers are bearing the brunt of these rising costs as they struggle to feed their families.
It’s cruel and unjust.
It makes no sense to say education workers are too important to allow them to strike, but not valuable enough to pay a living wage. The hypocrisy is a policy choice.
Justin Trudeau says the Ford government's 'preemptive use' of the notwithstanding clause is an attack on Canadians' 'fundamental rights.' https://t.co/pVHQktzPcE
School Support Workers & their supporters are picketing outside high-profile politician constituency offices including Education Minister Stephen Lecce’s office in King City. Hundreds are here. More are outside Premier Ford’s office in Etobicoke.
Laura Walton, president of the CUPE Ontario School Board Council, says the education workers strike will continue Monday and indefinitely until a deal is reached with the Ford government.
Avg. rent in the city is 2500/month, which is 30K/year. Avg. CUPE Ed worker salary is 39K/year. Remember who to be mad at if schools are closed due to a strike: blame falls squarely on the man denying early childhood educators and custodians the right to basic decent living.
I can’t stand this guy, I have 2 kids who will be out of school till this moron and his government give their head a shake. I have a wife who works as an educational assistant and loves going to work everyday, she deserves more, our students deserve more @Sflecce deserves nothing
