OPSEU/SEFPO stands in solidarity with flight attendants @WestJet who are on strike for a fair deal. These @cupenat members are taking a brave stand over unpaid work and low wages. Wage theft is never ok.

Colleges in Ontario are closing campuses, universities shuttering programs, thousands of Ontarians in post secondary are losing their jobs, and this guy is getting honoured by dingdong university.
