The Ontario PC government is horrible and has no doubt contributed in wrecking our health care system. But the bashing of conservative voters by liberals is tactless, condescending, and unproductive. We can condemn Ford without alienating the people who voted for him.

The 71 members of Local 222 in Oshawa remain on strike after rejecting Swipe Jobs’ latest offer by 75% on Friday evening. The members work in food production, labelling and packing, shipping among others. They are fighting for a living wage. #canlab

I spoke with @CBCHereandNow about internal #OSSTF divisions over the leadership's deal with the Ford government that would see the union trade in the right to strike for binding arbitration. Listen here 👇 cbc.ca/listen/live-ra… #onted #canlab #onpoli
In 2015 it cost Halifax Water $2 Million for @AFIMACGlobal security services during their 2 month strike. How much has it cost @hydroottawa to employ #AFIMAC for this strike nearing 3 months in today's $$$? +SCAB contractors? @ottawacity #ottnews #audit cbc.ca/news/canada/no…
🚨SCAB ALERT🚨 Today we're picketing #JetElectricalContractors in Gananoque because they continue to cross our picket lines. They are hurting members fighting for a fair deal. @hydroottawa workers have been on strike for 77 days. There is no excuse to do this. #RespectTheLine

The corrupt Housing Minister for Doug Ford's crooked government has resigned. Not holding breath for OPP or RCMP cuffing the Ford Mafia and the business elites swimming in slushfunds of taxpayer money and trashing the greenbelt for homes and highways that solve nothing.

Found it! I was not aware of this little legal tidbit. Manitoba's Public Schools Act prohibits teachers from striking. This is now an obvious violation of s. 2(d) of the Charter. Assuming it has not been challenged, I assume that's because the teachers' unions are fine with it.
Thanks for coming to the picket line and supporting our @hydroottawa members. We appreciate your #solidarity, brother. Today marks the 60th day of this strike for hydro workers. #EnoughIsEnough

Another week has passed and #CathyCurry @KanataNorth still hasn't reached out to us despite our requests. @ottawacity council and @_MarkSutcliffe need to ask Curry, #LauraDudas and @hydroottawa Board how they can justify this strike? What was the plan and how much has it cost?
Strike Day 52. #CathyCurry @KanataNorth has yet to reply to our Jul 3 email, Aug 8 phone call or Aug 16 office picket re: safety concerns, grievances and a fair deal. As a @hydroottawa board member and @ottawacity councillor, what did she and the board approve for this strike?
The Metro strike is about money. But it's also about respect. Having pandemic pay yanked away sent a very clear message to Metro workers that their labour wasn’t being respected. globalnews.ca/news/9920173/m… #canlab #MetroStrike

Beware @UniforTheUnion #metrostrike picketers. This article outlines some of the strike-breaking tactics @AFIMACGlobal has used against our own members. Paid for by @hydroottawa. Picketers feel unsafe being provoked, followed and filmed. Injunctions are part of their playbook.
Unions! This @briarpatchmag article exposes similar strike-breaking tactics used against #IBEW636 workers. “They're following our members...trying to provoke argument...consistently in their faces, filming them." We 👀 you @hydroottawa and @AFIMACGlobal briarpatchmagazine.com/articles/view/…

This week dozens of janitors at @douglascollege in #BritishColumbia head into bargaining for much needed improvements! "We really need a big pay raise because things cost more now, and rent keeps going up”, said Azmu an @SEIU member with 20 years of service at New West campus.
After the closing of picket line we went postering in support of of our striking colleagues at #MetroStrike !! What’s your plans for the weekend ? .. because we are all Metro workers now ✊🏽
This commentary seems especially relevant today. The opportunity to make gains for workers and for public education is real, why not take it? #onted #osstf #etfo #oecta #acepo #canlab
Conditions are more positive for public support for unions than they have been in decades. Inflation generates a lot of sympathy for workers whose wages are not keeping pace— including teachers. For more of my analysis of #onted bargaining see cp24.com/news/unions-sa… #canlab
