More what?! More of nothing is still nothing. More understaffed classrooms? Students with ZERO support? Until you've worked in a school you literally have no idea what's happening. Heads up, I have rights as a worker in ON! A right to safety, security and a fair wage.

[Renee Mackey-Burson @soulpurposebars]

Brilliant.

[Renee Mackey-Burson @soulpurposebars]

@Custodian_CP @CUPEOntario @osbcucscso Speak for yourself. This is not the best we can do. The leadership (who hasn't seen their families in weeks I might add), r working their asses off to get us the best. I have fresh bruises all over from being understaffed that say I deserve more than what they have offered.

[Renee Mackey-Burson @soulpurposebars]

Ain't that the truth.

[Dean Blundell🇨🇦 @ItsDeanBlundell]

Hey, @fordnation. I'm getting the feeling taxpaying Ontarians are tired of the mob running Ontario.

[Renee Mackey-Burson @soulpurposebars]

YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!

[Joel Harden @JoelDHardenNDP]

Crisis? What crisis?

That's the response from the government to health care professionals at @CHEO helping kids who are in the hospital right now, struggling to breathe.

@fordnation honour the office you hold: #MaskUp indoors, #RepealBill124, and fund the healthcare we need.

[Renee Mackey-Burson @soulpurposebars]

I would encourage you to also do the math on wages that are not liveable. $39, 000 is not our take home pay, its way less! I've had horrible wages for 10+ years. Enough is enough.

[Danceswithtwoleftfeet @AilanDuong]

@CUPEOntario @FredHahnCUPE @osbcucscso @waltonmom @Yoequality @OntarioNDP @Peter_Tabuns @Pattycoates I would suggest the Union be reasonable and not strike, meet Doug Ford half way. Don't forget that what you are asking for needs to be multiplied by 55,000 workers, do the math & pls be reasonable.

[OSBCU-CSCSO @osbcucscso]

We're not the only CUPE members at the table. Our brothers and sisters at the Canadian Hearing Society are facing attacks on working conditions & 1% wage caps under Bill 124. We stand behind them 100% until they get a fair contract. Solidarity! @cupe2730

[Renee Mackey-Burson @soulpurposebars]

@EmilyRose_85 @osbcucscso Have you talked to 3 people in all of Ontario??? I'm pretty sure that's NOT what the majority are saying. But ok. 🙄

[Renee Mackey-Burson @soulpurposebars]

Yup. #Solidarity

[Dean Blundell🇨🇦 @ItsDeanBlundell]

I just gave my son permission to go on strike from online learning in support of his school’s workers. You should do the same. @CUPEOntario #GeneralStrike

[Renee Mackey-Burson @soulpurposebars]

His raise is almost HALF of what I make in a YEAR. #ontedsolidarity #39000isnotenough

[@NatalieMehra @NatalieMehra1]

Oh and Doug Ford's Minister of Education? His pay went up $15,000 in one year.

In 2019, Stephen Lecce became Ontario's minister of education. During this year, his salary was reported to be $150,531.19 in 2019 - $165,851.04 in 2020.

5/5 End.

[🎙DJ UNITY🎙 @Truth4Ont]

How about that Ontario?

Lecce has the right to not testify at the Labour Board b/c he is protected by “parliamentary privilege,” but #CUPE doesn’t have collective bargaining rights even though they are protected by the Charter.

[Dapper Millenial @realcdnrhetoric]

Here’s some perspective for Ontarian’s who think the government is putting students first

CUPE and Teachers: a non-essential service

LCBO employees: an essential service

[Ontario Education Workers United @OntEdWorkers]

🚨Here's your chance to support @osbcucscso frontline Eduction Workers🚨

This GoFundMe is for grocery 💵 for the workers Ford is forcing to use food banks.

We've contacted CUPE & will give them the funds to give to members in need.

[This Hour Has 22 Minutes @22_Minutes]

The Ontario government says it has no choice but to pass a bill preventing a strike, because kids need to be in school so they can grow up, get jobs, and have their Charter rights taken away.

[Norm Di Pasquale 🇨🇦 @normsworld]

.@chrisglover notes that he knows an Education Assistant that's homeless. Their pay is so low in some cases that they can't afford food and shelter. Will the government pay these workers a fair wage so they don't need to access food banks? #39kIsNotEnough

[Renee Mackey-Burson @soulpurposebars]

Read this thread. Excellent!

[David King @dkingofABC]

I am not an Ontarian, or a teacher, or an education assistant, but I have a perspective on the Ford government’s “Keeping Students in Schools Act”. I was Minister of Education in Alberta for 7 years, including the time the Charter was developed and enacted. #onted #onpoli

[They call me Ninny @Ninnysflowers]

I am a strong willed woman in #onted but Doug Ford thinks its still 1955 and I should know my place. I WILL challenge every boundary you give me. @fordnation. Its 2022. @osbcucscso

[DerekZoolander85 @dzoolander85]

"Don't force my hand" by asking for a cost-of-living raise actually means "You women (nurses & teachers) are lucky we let you out of the kitchen," right @fordnation?

How about we get some stories on the misogyny of Ontario's Ford Government, #CdnMedia? 😒
