So proud to have helped secure this result for local 113!

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

[Ursel Phillips Fellows Hopkinson LLP @upfhlaw]

We are pleased to share this victory for transit workers' right to strike. Congratulations @ATUlocal113!

So proud to have represented @osstf in this important case on electoral fairness. Congrats to all involved!

[Ursel Phillips Fellows Hopkinson LLP @upfhlaw]

We are thrilled that the ONCA has declared restrictive amendments to Ontario's Election Finances Act unconstitutional. This is a victory for the right to hear diverse perspectives in elections. Congratulations to our client, @osstf ! https://t.co/quzEA39xUI

Our team is in court today defending the right to strike on behalf of @ATUlocal113

@ian_j_f @kri120 @emcharlottehome @AdrianaZichy and Joanna Birenbaum - we are rooting for you!

[Karen Ensslen 🇺🇦 @KarenEnsslen]

Victory for collective bargaining! So proud of our client, our team @sursel2002 and @emcharlottehome, and our friends in the union-side bar and labour movement, for this full-scale victory against #Bill124!

[Kristen Allen @kri120]

Bill 28 is as much an attack on our constitutional democracy as it is an attack on workers. I'll see you at Queen's Park #ontedsolidarity

[Kristen Allen @kri120]

@emily_whom Love the ‘my own self’ in this delightful divulgence! Q says it all the time too

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

[Liisa Schofield @LiisaSko]

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

[Jonathan Giles @JonathanGilesTO]

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.

Elections Ontario asked to divulge MPP complaints that could muzzle community groups https://t.co/hmxxa34umz via @torontostar

BREAKING Sept 1: This is outrageous!!! @CP24 @CBC @globalnewsto @CTV

[Kristen Allen @kri120]

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.
