The Ford govts use of the notwithstanding clause is an attack on workers everywhere. Workers - especially education workers who help our kids every day - deserve our thanks, respect AND fair wages. They DON’T deserve the heavy-handed tactics of Ontario's Conservative govt.

As a fellow parent of a kiddo who depends on these skilled and dedicated education workers every day, I fully support them as they fight for a fair contract. #solidarity #onpoli #39kIsNotEnough

This is a huge win for educational workers, students, CUPE, and the labour movement more broadly. Forcing government to reverse course like this is unprecedented and is going to mean fairer collective agreements across the board in the months and years ahead. #canlab #onpoli

đź§µ: Victory and vindication for workers! Just a few hours ago, the Ontario Superior Court struck down Bill 124, the wage restraint legislation.

On a day when people are talking about #MentalHealth, let's remember that WCB still makes it harder for workers to make claims for psychological injuries than physical ones. And let's keep pushing to change that. #BCLab

"We need a strong commitment from the provincial government to help make sure that post-secondary institutions aren’t harmed by declining enrolment."- PEA

Today's pay transparency legislation is a start & moves BC in the right direction. We're glad to see Parliamentary Secretary Kelli Paddon say this is a first step toward pay equity, because pay equity is what we really need: going beyond showing the pay gap, to closing it. #BCLab

I'm grateful to the activists & elected officials continuing to fight for these kids. Early intervention makes an enormous difference. By denying the vast majority of ASD kids access to services in this key window, government truly is causing irreparable harm. #50KIsNotOk #onpoli

PEA joins UVic unions to call on Premier Eby and Minister Beare to immediately address the impact of budget cuts and layoffs at UVic. Without decisive leadership, these cuts will devastate workers and undermine the quality of education for students. pea.org/news-programs/…

Thanks to TorontoToday for covering this story. I hope that one day families like ours will not have to jump through as many hoops to get appropriate accommodations in the classroom.
