As the April 28, the National Day of Mourning for workers killed or injured on the job approaches, remember that the PCs will move health and safety training from in-person training to less effective online training in 50,000 workplaces. #killaworkergotojail #onlab #onpoli

The last time the Ontario Tories were in power, Harris froze the minimum wage for 8 years! Mandatory voting was intro'd for union certification, allowing employers a week of anti-union campaigning. Farm workers lost union rights, and employment standards weakened #canlab #onpoli

"We need to make it easier for people to join a union. Many studies have shown how unions play a major role in reducing income inequality," says @theJagmeetSingh to a packed room at the #Toronto townhall.
