BCGEU stands in solidarity with Ontario education workers. We condemn the Doug Ford government for their callous attack on 55,000 education workers and their rights under the Charter. Statement here:

Time to bring back days of action. Workers should never accept the use of the notwithstanding clause to override freedoms. Doug Harris needs to be put in his place. Lets Go #onlab .Support education workers.
Who do you think works harder?
A) Doug Ford, who rarely shows up and earns well over 6 figures
B) CUPE workers who take care of kids in kindergarten & those w/ special needs, but earn barely over minimum wage
Doug Ford's fight with education workers while running a budget surplus is purely ideological. Province has the money, but modern conservatives despise anything to do with public education. Republicans do this all over the US, and it's a continuation of Mike Harris in Ontario.
All 55 000 CUPE education workers have my unwavering support. Thank you for choosing courage over fear and for rising against the bullying tactics of Doug Ford and his government. So many of us are with you.
Doug Ford has chosen the hard, nasty, constitution-smashing, anti-worker, labour rights-crushing way.
Now he’ll have to live with the political and economic consequences of his disastrous governance.
This is on him. Solidarity with workers.
I’m heading to protest with @CUPEOntario members tomorrow. I hate protests. HATE. That’s how important this is. @fordnation weaponized your kids to beat down poor janitors and support workers then set aside their human rights because he wants to give their jobs away to his pals.
The @fordnation Gov’t bargained in bad faith…
That’s why kids aren’t in school today
Using the #notwithstandingclause as a hammer against the people who we rely on to keep our schools safe and welcoming is so wrong…
It’s pure contempt for those trying to earn a living wage
Educational Assistants help students with the most exceptional needs
It’s hard work
They do it because they care
So why is @fordnation using the #notwithstandingclause as a hammer to intimidate them?
This is our son, Anthony. He has multiple disabilities. He is in a mainstream classroom. EAs take care of him everyday. Toileting, feeding, dressing, constant supervision, being his voice, therapy sessions etc. Anthony could not attend school without EAs. #IStandWithCUPE
