Team Ignite was honoured to have the opportunity to meet with many workers attending their affiliate caucuses at the OFL Convention. We were able to share our vision to Organize, Build & Win to collectively work to rebalance the scales in favour of workers & renew labour in ON!

The excitement is building!! Today delegates at the OFL will have the chance to cast their ballots. It has been amazing to connect with so many workers as Team Ignite! This is just the beginning! Let’s continue to Organize, Build and Win!

This morning at the 17th biennial convention of the OFL were elected as the next executive officers of Canada’s largest labour federation Team Ignite received a strong mandate to move forward with their platform of Organize, Build & Win!

If politicians want working people’s votes, they need to respect and enhance our rights. Not with pretty words, but concrete actions. Mr. Poilievre has spent the last twenty years attacking workers - he’s going to be judged on that. #canlab #cdnpoli thestar.com/politics/feder…
