Call to Stop Bill 124
The Ford Conservatives are trying to pass Bill 124: an act to strip workers of their right to free collective bargaining and force them to accept contracts that don’t keep pace with inflation.
They are using time allocation to try to get the bill based this week.

Labour Day 2019
On Monday, September 2 CUPE Ontario members will take part in Labour Day events in communities across the province. The annual celebration has its roots in the labour movement’s fight for an eight-hour work day and celebrates the many gains unions have struggled for on behalf of all workers, including health and safety regulations, parental leave, better wages, pay equity laws, and same-sex spousal benefits.
