Happy Labour Day from Stratford & District Labour Council!
To celebrate the weekend, we were delighted to have been able to sponsor a free community swim yesterday at Lions Pool. Thanks to everyone who came out and to those who made donations which we’ll give to area food banks.

April 28 community members gathered to honour and remember those who have been injured, killed and continue to suffer injuries in the workplace. We must renew our commitment promoting health and safety in all workplaces. @osbcucscso @OFLabour @StratOnLabour @CUPEOntario @cupenat

The Stratford and District Labour Council hosted its annual National Day of Mourning service in Upper Queen's Park Friday morning to remember and honour those made sick, injured or killed as a result of hazardous work @BeaconGalen https://t.co/1DOZ7qXjCk

The Stratford & District Labour Council would like to invite you to join us for a Day of Mourning ceremony on April 28 at 10:30am at Upper Queens Park.

On April 28. Remember. Mourn for the Dead. Fight for the Living. More than a slogan. #MakeWorkSafe. More than a hashtag.

[Joe Tigani @joetigani]

Come together and stand up, keep up the pressure on this government and hold them accountable. #Solidarity #39kIsNotEnough @CUPEOntario @OntarioNDP @fairwagesnow @springmagca @StratOnLabour @UniforTheUnion @OPSEU @osstf @ETFOeducators @OECTAProv

[David J. Doorey🇨🇦 💙 @TheLawofWork]

And of course this is one of the HUGE concerns at play here, why the entire labour movement is behind CUPE.

If governments decide to use notwithstanding clause as simply a collective bargaining hammer, then we are basically no longer a real democracy. Govt just imposes contracts

[OPSEU/SEFPO @OPSEU]

OPSEU/SEFPO #educationworkers and supporters rallied with CUPE @osbcucscso members at Queen's Park and across the province yesterday. This is what democracy looks like! #39KisNotEnough #IStandWithCUPE #onpoli #onted #onlab
