Shame on @OMERSVentures, @TPFFAPres, and others for getting rid of guarenteed indexing on thousands of @cupelocal79 members pensions. This isn't intergenerational equity, this is robbing younger and newer workers of our retirement. We'll never be able to have the same luxury.

[Nas.Yadollahi @NasYadollahi]

Next week, a motion is coming to City Council to limit our ability to protest- potentially impacting workers across Toronto, including @cupelocal79 members in a bargaining year.

City Council should instead encourage nuanced dialogue and the right to freedom of assembly.

📣Calling all organziers!📣

Come work with us at @cupelocal79 to help engage our large and diverse membership ahead of the next round of bargaining.

Yesterday I was grateful to be elected as the next President of @cupelocal79 - starting my term in January.

Our members take care of the City of Toronto and they look forward to seeing our Local re-emerge as a strong progressive voice for all workers in our city.

Proud to have been in @oliviachow ‘s corner since the first day she decided to run. The joy of last night and the lasting change her mayoralty will bring to our city are so deeply inspiring. Here’s to an immigrant kid from St. James Town who is one of us. 💜

Another successful labour canvass for @oliviachow complete on this beautiful Saturday! Feeling so much positive energy and momentum for Olivia! @TeamOliviaChow #TOpoli

[Olivia Chow @oliviachow]

I’m honoured to have the support of @ATU_Canada, @CUPEOntario, @ElemTeachersTO, @USWDistrict6, and @OPSEU who represent hundreds of thousands of workers in Toronto.

I have always been proud to stand alongside working people to build a better city.

[Olivia Chow @oliviachow]

Let’s build a city that is more affordable, safer, and caring where everyone belongs.

My name is Olivia Chow, and I’m running to be your new Mayor. @DailyBreadTO #TOpoli

@AdamCF Man likes to chop.

[Fred Shilson @Fred_Shilson]

For someone who was deputy mayor, you'd think you'd know the name of the City divisions referenced in your "plan". #TOpoli

[Fred Shilson @Fred_Shilson]

That's gonna be a 'no' from me dawg.

I'm sorry, I completely disagree with this decision. The local should be supporting a candidate that will advocate for MORE city services, and that candidate isn't Ana Bailao. #TOpoli

[CUPE Local 79 @cupelocal79]

CUPE Local 79, representing over 25,000 Toronto workers, is pleased to endorse @anabailaoTO to be the next mayor of #Toronto. #TOpoli

Inflation numbers are out and food prices continue to soar.

Lettuce:⬆️35%
Bread: ⬆️18%
Vegetables: ⬆️15%

Meanwhile, Grocery CEOs are making record profits.

Enough greed.

We've summoned Grocery CEOs to answer your questions.

You deserve answers.

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Thank you, New Democrats!

We’re going to win a bright new future for Ontario - and that work starts right now.

Today, @fordnation introduced legislation to remove the rights of education workers to negotiate a fair deal. Here's the facts:

Education workers earn an average of 39K a year.

2/3 are women.

1/3 rely on food banks to survive.

1/2 have a second job.

They deserve better.

[OSBCU-CSCSO @osbcucscso]

We will not allow our rights to be legislated away. They may have a majority in the legislature. We have a majority across the province. We will take a stand and do everything we can to defend workers' rights and to defend public education.

[Fred Shilson @Fred_Shilson]

By far, one of the best in the business. Very happy to support Peter last night and excited that we have a strong interim leader at Queens Park who will make sure New Democrats are heard by the Ford government.

[Peter Tabuns @petertabuns.bsky.social @Peter_Tabuns]

My thanks to the members of the #ONDP who have appointed me their interim leader. I appreciate your confidence and your trust. You know I will fight for the people of this province, I know you will too.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

I am pleased that the Canadian government, at the urging of @theJagmeetSingh and the @NDP, is moving toward universal dental care. That's the right thing to do, and exactly what we should be doing in the US. Health care is a human right, and dental care is part of health care.
