Holding bosses accountable who are making their employees work in unsafe conditions that spread COVID-19. Report bad bosses @ our site and we'll call em out!
#StarInvestigation: Three migrant workers have died. We take a look inside one, which has become the site of one of the largest outbreaks in the province. From pest infestations to overcrowding, “it is a form of racism,” worker says. https://t.co/RgdIQ1Xrwn
A third migrant worker died from COVID-19 last night. We are working to be in touch with the family and get their direction before releasing more information.
We need #StatusforAll.
Labor Notes Webinar on Wednesday! Workers Organizing for Black Lives. "Citywide coalitions are pushing to reduce funding for police and use the money for the many other public services that are always on the chopping block." https://t.co/r8VE7KlOjw
To ensure Black Lives Matter, companies like Amazon and McDonald's could could give more money to their own employees, a substantial percentage of whom are Black and largely concentrated in low-wage occupations.

It’s (Way Past) Time to Redistribute Obscene Police Budgets to Schools, Hospitals, & Buses, via @LaborNotes.
Policing is both harmful & expensive. It drains public $ that could otherwise go to addressing actual, underlying problems.

Galen Weston is worth $13.5 billion.
A minimum wage worker in Ontario makes $14/hr.
At 40 hours per week, it'll take 460,000 years to make as much as Galen Weston.
The rich must pay their fair share. All workers deserve a decent wage! #15andfairness

The idea that we have somehow "adjusted" to a "new normal" is ridiculous. Galen Weston should be ashamed to make such a weak argument. Be honest, you just don't want to pay your workers fairly.
Thank you to Amanda for speaking up.

"Without action on paid sick days, I continue to fear for my patients' lives"
Last week health experts from our membership joined a press conference to call on Ontario to implement paid sick days for ALL. @Monika_Dutt@Gary_Bloch

#Costco giving employees the option to change out of their BLM shirts or going home is unacceptable. If one of your employees is bothered by someone wearing a shirt then maybe they should go home.
"Stay home" and practise physical distancing - unless you are a migrant worker (or rely on shelters, or are in prison). Our food system is built on racism like this. Bunkhouse conditions for migrant farm workers in Canada. https://t.co/KWHSEJ0gL4 via @YouTube
When your #BadBoss is @fordnation! Health professionals need better PPE and a COVID Fund for lost wages when they self-isolate. And we ALL need an END to private for-profit long-term care homes. #onpoli@ontarionurses https://t.co/HpZ2VUtVhB
