#BlackHistoryMonth Activist and broadcaster Kay Livingstone coined the term "visible minority." The term became an organizing tool "to challenge unfair institutional practices in education, policing and immigration."

Congratulations to @OntarioNDP MPP and Labour Critic @jamiewestndp on this important win for workers with the passing of Bill 118 to officially recognize June 1 as Injured Workers Day in Ontario!

This week, the OFL joined affiliated unions, community groups, and ONDP MPPs Jamie West and @LiseVaugeois at the annual Injured Workers' rally to call out Doug Ford’s decision to hand the workers' compensation surplus to employers. Workers' compensation is funded by workers' labour and wages—there’s no surplus until injured workers are fully compensated.

Recognition of Injured Workers Day is just the beginning, we will continue our fight until the rights as outlined in the OFL Injured Workers' Bill of Rights: https://t.co/tLITZVmno0 are realized.

To the person in front of me: We just spent 20 minutes in line at the airport fast food place. How can you be at the cash and not know what you want?!?!

Doug Ford is #WorkingForBillionaires instead of Workers! The Conservatives are pretending that their "Digital Platform Workers' Rights Act " is good for Workers. Instead, it enshrines the ability for Billion-dollar App companies to pay their Workers less than minimum wage!

Time and time again, governments have experimented with the privatization of health care, and it has failed: costing more and providing less.
In this piece @ArmineYalnizyan highlights the pitfalls of the profitization of health care. #onpoli #onhealth

Transgender Awareness Week is observed annually from Nov 13-19 and leads up to the Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20—a day to memorialize victims of trans violence.

The day increases understanding about transgender people & the issues members of the community face.

For profit health care again revealed as being For Profit, and not for health care. Private sector health care is not more efficient, cheaper, nor will it solve our health care woes.

With organizations facing backlash for attempting to promote equality and inclusion in the workplace, The Onion asked white people to explain why diversity initiatives are discriminatory, and this is what they said. https://t.co/EWAXPLERQj

Shame! We admit we did wrong, and we'll fix everything... except the thing we did wrong.

🧵 1/4 In the middle of a housing & cost-of-living crisis, @fordnation chose his backroom buddies over workers. While we struggle to cover rent & pay the bills, Ford enriched developers to the tune of $8.3 billion–all at the public’s expense!
