Repeal Bill124 Rally, June 19th at 11:00am via Zoom. Sign up here to join in.

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.

Please help us with the upcoming sticker day. 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.

Joseph DiFlaviano, CUPE Ontario Pink Triangle Committee Member, gives a brief history of Pride in Canada where we have our own roots in celebrating LGBTQ rights.
