We received layoff notices for workers at The Works safe injection site - despite the Board of Health voting in September not to eliminate the positions. The City of Toronto should show leadership and advocacy for our workers in harm reduction. thestar.com/news/gta/staff…

Here are 13 private sector union collective agreements negotiated in Ontario in 2024, all of which boost wages north of 5% in the first year. For half of them, it's over 8%. That's a lot. Did you hear anything about any of these from our provincial or federal labour federations?

Solidarity was strong on the CUPW picket lines as Ontario Nurses' Association (Local 111) & Workers' Action Centre joined forces to #SupportPostalWorkers! It's time for Canada Post to stop driving down wages & working conditions. A crown corporation should be creating good jobs & #Justice4Workers!

Thank god we’ve got a Premier who spent half a billion dollars on a luxury spa. Should we just funnel patients there, Doug? What do you think? #ONPoli
