CUPE Ontario Secretary-Treasurer, Yolanda McClean, joined CUPE 2316 workers at Children's Aid Society of Toronto to make noise about the province-wide crisis in child welfare. ✊🏽📢🚨
Across Ontario, Children’s Aid Societies are under serious strain. Funding has not kept up with the growing needs of children and families. Cases are more complex. Demand for services is higher. Staffing levels do not reflect the reality on the ground.
We are calling on the provincial government to come forward with real funding solutions — for Toronto and for every Children’s Aid Society across Ontario.
These workers matter.
The families they serve matter.
And the work they do is worth investing in.
CUPE Ontario mourns the death of the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, a towering voice for civil rights, economic justice and human dignity. A protégé of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and a two-time presidential candidate, Jackson spent his life organizing and building coalitions that challenged systems of oppression that treat working people as disposable. His work continues to inspire us in Canada and around the world.
“As we honour Jesse Jackson’s legacy during Black History Month, we also lift up the Black members of CUPE Ontario who lead in our workplaces and our communities,” said Yolanda McClean, Secretary-Treasurer of CUPE Ontario.
“Their leadership, courage and care are shaping a better future — and we, like them, will never stop fighting to confront anti-Black racism until we win real change.”

From the cuts of the Harris years to the privatization agenda of the Ford years, Black communities have been organizing, resisting, and building power every step of the way.
Join Black lawmakers, advocates, and organizers for a powerful conversation on lessons learned, victories won, barriers faced, and what it will take to build real power now.
We’ll explore the role of Black leadership, youth activism, mental health and legislative change, inter-generational trauma, and the limits — and possibilities — of representation.
As a progressive union, we know racial justice and workers’ rights are inseparable.
The fight for equity and strong public services continues.
