Get ready to Demand Better! Feminist and progressive organizations are joining together across Canada to fight for the economic well-being of our families and to mobilize Canadians to vote for leaders who will side with us.
5 yrs ago, care workers were hailed as heroes. Promises were made for better pay, safe staffing, protections. Today? Still overworked, underpaid & unsafe. It’s time to demand ACTION. #carecantwait Read @uniglobalunion full report below:

BREAKING: Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) upholds ruling that strikes down provisions of #Bill307
Today’s SCC decision delivers a decisive blow to the Ford Conservative government’s reckless and unconstitutional Bill 307. This decision is a win for all Ontarians who value their Charter-protected rights and the health of our democracy.

Dear Canada and Canadian workers,
The days ahead will be hard. We will need to pull together like never before.
But I have seen what we are capable of when we support each other.
When we fight together.
We will win together.
Solidarity. Always.

"Seven years ago, @Fordnation ran on a vow to end hallway health care. For seven years, Doug Ford has failed to do anything about it! Hallway medicine is now the norm, with patients waiting hours upon hours in emergency departments!" - Erin Ariss, RN & ONA President #onpoli

Congratulations to @OntarioNDP MPP and Labour Critic @jamiewestndp on this important win for workers with the passing of Bill 118 to officially recognize June 1 as Injured Workers Day in Ontario!
This week, the OFL joined affiliated unions, community groups, and ONDP MPPs Jamie West and @LiseVaugeois at the annual Injured Workers' rally to call out Doug Ford’s decision to hand the workers' compensation surplus to employers. Workers' compensation is funded by workers' labour and wages—there’s no surplus until injured workers are fully compensated.
Recognition of Injured Workers Day is just the beginning, we will continue our fight until the rights as outlined in the OFL Injured Workers' Bill of Rights: https://t.co/tLITZVmno0 are realized.
