The support staff union is the third to announce a strike vote, after the Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association and the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario last week. https://t.co/TgZJYwh7Fw

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Ontario's new subway cars: built in Maryland.

Our highway maintenance: Texas.

Our teachers' supplies: Staples.

You awarded $140M at Mississauga's new hospital to a U.S. firm and sent WSIB work to Boston.

Premier, if Buy Ontario is the law, you're breaking it.

CUPE Local 3204 is under attack by the employer cutting hours of work. Come out to the rally on Thursday, info in attachment. I’ll be in an arbitration for these folks at this time so come support if you’re able!!!

[Robin Lennox @RobinLennox]

Minister of Favours just can’t quit it. The relationship is clear: donate to the PC party, and your return on investment will be huge in contracts, skills development fund grants, and more.

No matter your political leanings, none of us agree this is an ethical use of tax $$$

[MichaelHurleyCUPE @HurleyOCHUCUPE]

Mr. Fedeli's government promised to end waits for hospital beds. Instead North Bay hospital is cutting 40 staff, many in Emerg. $75 million for tv ads in the US but our hospitals told just 40% of their cost increases will be covered? Unacceptable.

Congratulations to our @cupenat brothers and sisters at Air Canada on reaching a tentative agreement to end your strike. Our more than 200,000 ATU members and delegates attending our 61st Convention delegates in New York City stand with you in solidarity and strength. #OurVoiceOurPower #1u #canlab #UnionStrong

[Lil Berb @berb1974]

@steveof101 I’ll be there. Hope you can bring some members to this important rally.

📢 Enough is Enough! 📢
Air Canada & the Liberal government are attacking flight attendants. This is about all workers’ right to bargain freely. ✊

This is HUGE:

The Air Canada CEO just admitted on TV that he had no plan except for his SECRET BACKROOM DEAL WITH CARNEY to bust the strike using Section 107

He and Carney assumed workers would roll over

They assumed wrong

Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau joins BNN Bloomberg to discuss the impact of the strike.

Our message to Mark Carney, Patty Hajdu and the Liberal government: You have seriously understimated our strength, our determination. You have picked a fight with the wrong union, the wrong workers, and you have definitely picked a fight with the wrong women. #unfairCanada

[Lil Berb @berb1974]

Wow!!! Looks like a major conflict to me. Why wouldn’t you recuse yourself and why would the @MarkJCarney liberal government appoint them. Seems kinda sketchy to me.

[CUPE National @cupenat]

In an almost unthinkable display of conflict-of-interest, a former Air Canada legal counsel, Maryse Tremblay, will rule on whether to end job action by striking Air Canada flight attendants at the Canada Industrial Relations Board.

[Lil Berb @berb1974]

This is utter BS. Air Canada chose not to participate in bargaining hoping this would happen. Unacceptable @AirCanada and @PattyHajdu for doing what the employer wanted. Unpaid work is unacceptable. Oh yeah, most of the flight attendants are women as well, so do better!!!

[CHCH News @CHCHNews]

The federal government has stepped in and ordered Air Canada and the union representing their flight attendants to resume operations.

[Catherine Fife @CFifeKW]

When people learn that flight attendants are not paid for work prior to lift-off (safety checks, boarding, deplaning etc) they are shocked.
Solidarity w/ @CUPE_SCRP @AirCanadaComponent flight attendants - 70% who identify as women - fighting for fair pay and respect #onpoli

[CUPE National @cupenat]

The Liberal government has invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to end a strike by Air Canada flight attendants fighting to end unpaid work and poverty wages.

[Unifor @UniforTheUnion]

"...a direct attack on employee free choice."

Labour Relations Board roasts Amazon during a scathing rejection of the company's appeal of Unifor's union certification in Delta B.C. 🔥

[Mark Hancock @MarkHancockCUPE]

CUPE members working at WSIB and Villa Colombo have something in common:
1) both their employers need to stop the delay tactics and get back to the bargaining table
2) they'll both have the full support of our national union until they get a fair deal!

[Laura Walton @waltonmom]

Yesterday the Ford Government confirmed what unions have always stood for - that workers should have wages that are in line with inflation & defined benefit pension plans.
The issue is that they applied it solely for MPPs & not for all workers. #GoodForAll

[Irwin Elman @irwinelman]

The system says “one death is too many”. Now it is 134. A death of a child every 60 hours

No more “thoughts and prayers” @MichaelParsa @our_children

Serious fundamental change is needed.

Join us Minister on June 11
