CUPE 2361, CUPE Ontario and NDP call on province to enact anti-scab legislation. The federal Tories voted for it, why won't the Ford conservatives? london.ctvnews.ca/video/c2995438…

Ford government balancing budget on the wallets of international students: Globalnews.ca globalnews.ca/news/10764274/…

The Ford PC's have shown us again and again that they don't respect workers rights. That's why we need to come together as the labour movement to fight anti-worker governments, who aim to divide and impede strikes for better working conditions. ‼️ That is exactly what we're trying to do at Western University, where CUPE 2361 members are standing shoulder to shoulder against the university's administration who would rather see their school's facilities and grounds deteriorate than bring a fair contract to the bargaining table. ✊🏾📢 Take action for a clean, safe, accessible campus for students and staff: cupe.ca/take-action-cl…

This is what #solidarity looks like!

Are you excited for the Reclaiming York for Students and Workers rally happening on September 25th at 11:45AM? 📢 Come make signs this week in advance of the rally at the CUPE 3903 office in 143 Atkinson! 🪧 We’re bringing the sign supplies, so you just have to bring yourself.

Child care workers are the backbone of communities and child care workers are worth more! CUPE 2204 members work at four beloved Ottawa-area community day care centres. They’ve been negotiating for 17 months for a fair contract. In that time, management has tried to pit worker against worker, offering raises to some and nothing to others. Workers will not be divided! And when you push, we push back. ✊🏾💪🏾 We’re calling on all labour allies, parents, and people who believe that high quality child care and good jobs go hand in hand to join CUPE 2204 members as they fight for a fair contract! Info for the rally 👇🏾 If you can’t make it to the rally, sign their e-action to send a strong message to management: cupe.ca/ottawachildcare

@Ldn_Labour @cupenat @CandaceRennick @OFLabour Thank you for all the support, love and solidarity!

@CUPEOUWCC @cupenat @CandaceRennick @OFLabour Note location change to London City Hall

Join @cupenat Secretary-Treasure @CandaceRennick on Friday for a rally & BBQ supporting striking trades, landscape service and caretaking workers at Western University. 11-1 at University & Richmond in London. @Ldn_Labour @OFLabour #Solidarity #strike #canlab

Just a fantastic turnout today in support of CUPE 2361, which represents 330 caretakers, grounds, and trades staff at Western University. The local has been on strike since August 30. @CUPEOUWCC

It is shameful that so many of these hardworking folks are having to take on second or third jobs to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table—especially when senior executives at the university are getting gigantic raises, up to 30% in one year. @CUPEOUWCC

Today, we joined the striking CUPE Local 2361 workers who keep the University of Western campus clean and safe at their community rally. Great turnout from the London community, showing the striking CUPE Local 2361 workers that they got their back.✊🫶 #OnLab #OnPoli

Great community support for Western University workers now in 3rd week of strike. Story here: cupe.on.ca/western-commun… @Ldn_Labour #solidarity #CUPE
