June 21 is usually a day of celebration for Indigenous peoples, however, this year is a much more challenging time as Indigenous communities across the country mourn the recent discovery of 215 Indigenous children buried at a mass grave site at the Kamloops Indian Residential School in BC.

Repeal Bill 124 – Download the Stickers Here

Thank you to all of the health care workers represented by SEIU and CUPE who will be wearing stickers today calling for the repeal of Bill 124. This legislation restricts bargaining on wages to 1% a year in each of 3 years, at a time when inflation is surging. In April inflation was 3.4% year over year. The legislation also prevents us from bargaining access to psychological counselling and paid sick leave for those who don't have it. We will be ramping up this campaign over the summer.

Repeal Bill 124!

60,000 hospital workers represented by CUPE and SEIU protest June 14, calling on the PC government to scrap its law limiting wage increases to 1% for each of the next 3 years. Inflation was 3.4% in April year over year. Ontario’s ‘health care heroes’ can’t afford to accept large cuts to their real wages and believe that they should be able to bargain wage increases at least equal to inflation.
