Six weeks on strike. Thousands of community service workers are asking to be heard.

@fordnation's response? Total contempt for Ontario workers.

[JP Hornick @JPHornick]

While workers across Ontario remain on strike fighting for community services, @fordnation just gave himself a 21 week summer break.

So picket line paid a visit 🛶🪧

[OPSEU/SEFPO @OPSEU]

Yesterday, @fordnation had some things to say about community and social services workers on strike. So do we - we’re #WorthFightingFor.

OPSEU protesters have shown up to Premier Doug Ford’s announcement at a condo construction site alongside Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow and federal Housing Minister Gregor Robertson #onpoli

[CUPE Ontario @CUPEOntario]

Clarity & insight from @readthemaple & @OPSEU. #worthfightingfor
NEW: Doug Ford Has Billions For Corporations, Little For Workers https://t.co/K6tznsKPB7

[OPSEU/SEFPO @OPSEU]

We heard Doug Ford was holding a press conference in Toronto.

Striking community, health and social services were there to greet him with a clear message: fund our services, deliver stolen wages, and end the strike. #WorthFightingFor

[CUPE Ontario @CUPEOntario]

No better way for @fordnation to enjoy #FordFest than being made to face striking @OPSEU community & social members & supporters. Community and social services are always #worthfightingfor!

[OPSEU/SEFPO @OPSEU]

Last night, striking community, health and social services workers from across Ontario made sure Premier Ford and his government heard us loud and clear.

Premier Ford, do the right thing: fund our services, deliver stolen wages and end the strike.

We're calling on MPPs to do the right thing: fund the services our communities rely on, deliver funding for wages stolen under Bill 124, and help end this strike.

[OPSEU/SEFPO @OPSEU]

📢HAPPENING NOW: Striking community, health and social service workers are taking their message directly to PC MPP offices across Ontario through rallies, sit-ins, and other actions. #WorthFightingFor

[OPSEU/SEFPO @OPSEU]

The Ford government cannot continue to hide behind excuses or shirk its responsibility. Ford may have shut down the legislature early, but that doesn't let him or his government off the hook. They can act now, and they can make this right.

[OPSEU/SEFPO @OPSEU]

Instead of meeting, @SpeakerSkelly has called the police on her constituents - striking youth mental health workers in Hamilton fighting for:

❌stolen wages under Bill 124
💰 funding for services to survive

We will not be ignored.

[OPSEU/SEFPO @OPSEU]

❗️HAPPENING NOW ❗️

Striking workers occupy Donna Skelly’s office in Hamilton.

@SpeakerSkelly these workers are putting their livelihoods on the line, the time is NOW to join the call for funding for critical services that your constituents need.

$1 billion to the private sector.

Where is this tax-payer money going? Asking on behalf of 4000 community workers on strike.

[OPSEU/SEFPO @OPSEU]

"From the Skills Development (SDF) slush fund to these alarming 'black boxes' of funding moving to for-profit companies instead of frontline services, it’s no wonder our public services are crumbling under Ford’s watch.”

“Where is the money going?” 🧵

Striking community and social service workers are questioning why the Ford government is funnelling billions through for-profit companies, while overall funding for social services drops by 2.4%. #OnPoli #OnLab

[OPSEU/SEFPO @OPSEU]

“Our community & social services are struggling, workers who deliver these services are barely able to make ends meet, thousands are waiting longer and longer for the care they need...To hear that private companies are getting $1B while we are struggling – something isn’t right.”
