The @OFLabour, alongside coalition members representing unions impacted by Bill 124, including CUPE Ontario and @OPSEU, held a press conference at Queen’s Park calling on the Ford government to take immediate action to resolve outstanding Bill 124 remedies after years of unlawful wage suppression and delay. "Ford has funded remedy for virtually all other public sector workers in health care, school boards, the Ontario Public Service, and the LCBO. It is long past time to fund remedy for child care workers, developmental services workers, child welfare workers, community health workers, and all others who have been denied what they are due." - @FredHahnCUPE Read the release here: ofl.ca/ofl-labour-lea…

Big win! Workers at the Library of Parliament won a considerable case on telework at the labour board: this decision sets the precedent for telework to be able to be negotiated at the bargaining table. Read more: psacunion.ca/workers-win-la…

What are LUFA's priorities for a fair deal? (1) Pensions, (2) Compensation, and (3) Workload LUFA members want a deal that improves supports for students, boosts morale, and attracts and retain talent.

The people of Ontario are losing patience with a pattern of decision-making that borders on systemic corruption. 💰✊🏽 This government repeatedly asks public sector workers to tighten their belts while loosening the purse strings for friends and insiders. Ontario is at a critical juncture. The decisions made in this 2026 Budget will determine whether this province continues down a path of privatization, declining services, and eroding democratic norms, or whether it finally pivots to serve the people who build, run, and care for this province. #OnPoli #ProvincialBudget2026

Unions representing over 23,000 Peel Ed workers have sent a joint letter to PDSB senior leadership & trustees opposing cuts that erode frontline student supports while protecting management-level spending We’re pushing back together!

BREAKING: Conestoga College President John Tibbits has resigned, effective today, following union pressure campaign. “This win belongs to every worker, student, and neighbour devastated by Tibbits’ destructive tenure. Now the adults can sit down and talk.” #ONpoli #CdnPSE

$242 million spread between 47 public post-secondary institutions helps but is nowhere near what is needed to stabilize the system. The Ford government's own Blue Ribbon Panel recommended far more funding that they have yet to come up with. thewhig.com/news/local-new…
