[CUPE 3261 @cupe3261]

Since 2020, #UofT contracted out cleaning in an additional 27 buildings at the St. George campus, cutting good jobs and creating more poverty-wage jobs.

Does that sound like "equity, fairness and justice?" #PractiseWhatYouTeach

Racial justice includes justice at work for ALL workers. Racialized workers are overrepresented in low wage and precarious jobs. Bring up the standards for all by fighting through your union and also voting for Decent Work Champions on June 2. Follow @fairwagesnow for more info.

To effectively challenge unfettered global capitalism, we need a powerful global working class movement. Each country organizing against the same bosses, then uniting across borders. Our courses are taught twice a day to accommodate the world, in 12 languages. Kick off is May 10.

Abolish corporate @PrideToronto.

[Tom Hooper @thomashooper]

The $600k @CdnHeritage grant was for community support/anti-racism initiatives, @PrideToronto promised to showcase Indigenous artists.

Behind the scenes Pride demanded legal ownership of the artwork. Taking assets is settler colonialism and violates the terms of the grant.
