Today the Ontario Court of Appeal issued an important decision affirming workers fundamental right to strike. The Court affirmed that legislation banning all strikes by TTC workers was an unconstitutional infringement of workers’ Charter rights. https://t.co/9SJxKH90pi
Together, we can make the TTC the better way again by doing things differently
I’ll reverse the cuts to make TTC more fast and reliable, and make it safer by hiring more staff who are equipped to handle a crisis.
It was fantastic working with CUPE counsel Devon Paul for Local 2 and Gavin Leeb from CUPE national. Outstanding colleagues proving again the labour movement is Stronger Together. @Devoptimus@cupenat
Working on this case has been one of the highlights of my career so far. SCJ affirms the constitutional right to strike for transit workers. Congrats @ATUlocal113

People died of dehydration in Ontario long term care homes under this government's watch.
Nobody should be allowed to forget that. The least of which is @fordnation.

Bill 88 does not provide for min. wage for app-based workers. On some apps they are lucky to spend only half their days waiting for gigs, which translates to roughly $7.50/hr --https://t.co/eCXe0TKXUA
Gig Workers have won their ESA claim - proving (as they said all along) they are entitled to full and equal rights. Just as Ontario gov’t is set to make an announcement that treats employment standards like a buffet of choice for employers like Uber #MakeGigWorkDecentWork#ONPoli
Let me get this straight:
Most #onted teachers will not be getting rapid tests while our students receive multiple. Even though many of us sit in packed classrooms of 30+ while students eat unmasked.
We can head over to the LCBO and get some, though.

Has the MOL even heard of the precautionary principle? Or asymptomatic transmission? I want to see the stats on how many of the complaints actually resulted in meaningful substantive orders.
