@jamiewestndp @triboardbus @LimestoneDSB @alcdsb @HPEschools These employees are so far below the average for the industry, the Boards responsible need to ensure a fair wage.

[CUPE Local 1479 @Cupe1479]

@jamiewestndp @triboardbus @LimestoneDSB @alcdsb @HPEschools Agreed! Two of the three board’s Trustees would not speak with us in order to hear both sides.

[MPP Jamie West @jamiewestndp]

.@TriBoardBus planners deserve a fair pay increase! Parents appreciate the 90+ years of experience they bring to safely getting kids to school every day. @LimestoneDSB @alcdsb @HPEschools should not force workers on strike over a tiny fraction of 1% of each board’s budget.

@TorontoTeacherX If people think they will get more money they are wrong. I’m honestly sick of other groups telling our members in social media how to feel about our deal. $3.25 was NEVER going to happen and if members believed that was the case then they were misled.

[CUPE Local 1479 @Cupe1479]

@ColinDMello There is nothing that says what CUPE gets teachers get.

[CUPE Local 1479 @Cupe1479]

@JustinTrudeau we are begging for your help in Ontario. This can’t happen in our country. Don’t let this go@under your wage. Trade unions will@never forget.

[CUPE Local 1479 @Cupe1479]

@CanadianPM we need your help in Ontario. I’m begging you. What Ford and Lecce are doing is so wrong. Stop the use of the Not withstanding clause. They are try to kill Ontario’s publicly funded and publicly delivered education system. We are begging you.

"You have no idea what you have started.

Here's a look inside the Ontario Legislature as CUPE members protested the government's unprecedented use of the notwithstanding clause to force a contract on 55,000 education support workers.

@SheenaALOECTA @ToddSmithPC Thanks @SheenaALOECTA ! It was great seeing you and the teachers on the line! I was shocked that almost every car that passed us honked and waved, the number of family that showed up and told their stories about the special CUPE member and asked some really great questions.
