Look who’s surfaced.

Minister of Labour in government that walked away from bargaining table, imposed a crappy collective agreement, banned right to strike, and invoked notwithstanding clause to quash labor rights….

Now says govt and labor need to work together. Lol.

[United Steelworkers @SteelworkersCA]

FYI @fordnation - we are one of the biggest private sector unions in the province, and NO, we do not have a “good relationship.” We are with @CUPEOntario @cupenat #39kIsNotEnough #ONLab

[David J. Doorey🇨🇦 💙 @TheLawofWork]

Will the Ontario government pull out their new toy, the notwithstanding clause, to stop collective bargaining and strikes at GO Transit too?

Or is this tool just for female dominated lower waged more precarious workers?

At the OLRB hearing:

Board chair muses about sending the gov’t and CUPE back to bargaining.

Gov’t lawyer: that would be uncharted waters for the board.

Chair: “This whole bill is unchartered terrain, we have never had a bill like this in Canadian history”

They did it against @osbcucscso & they can do it against any other union!

This will impact our own bargaining. SHAME on the Ford government for stripping workers of their rights.

Fair bargaining cannot happen under duress!

CUPE members in Ontario, your fight is our fight! Unions across Canada supported us in our battle to protect Charter rights and now we are here for you.

Our Rep Assembly just voted to send you $1million so you don’t have to back down. @CUPEOntario @osbcucscso #onted #cdnpoli

While we show our support by wearing purple every Wednesday, know we stand in solidarity with #ETFOSTAFFASSOCIATION every day.

[Fatima De Jesus @Fatima_DeJesus7]

It’s Wednesday and we continue to stand in solidarity with #ETFOSTAFFASSOCIATION for a fair and equitable deal.

Today’s math lesson on integers, courtesy of @fordnation - increasing Ed funding by $5.6B with $6.8B in Fed $ for childcare adds up to a $1.2B cut. Significant indeed! #Budget2022 #OnPoli  #onted #VoteFordOut2022 #OSSTF

Important read on potential harms of update to PPM 81:

"It’s downloading the responsibility onto (school) boards to figure out what to do and most likely having staff perform procedures who aren’t trained to do so."

@cibc My problem, among others, is that I did stay on the line, but was disconnected and had to start over. How many hours is reasonable?

[Thomas Golightly @golightlytom]

@cibc Still waiting… again.

[Thomas Golightly @golightlytom]

@cibc Trying again.

If you use your 3-year-olds as props in a blockade, you are willingly abusing your children because you are mentally and emotionally disturbed.
