URGENT: Canada’s Senate released a report calling for government powers to ban strikes and impose contracts on rail and port workers. This is a threat to every worker.
Tell senators you strongly oppose attacks on workers’ fundamental rights: share.canadianlabour.ca/s/uY…
Nearly half of working Canadians say their job is the most stressful part of their day. Psychological illness is now the leading cause of disability in Canada. Burnout, stress, harassment isn’t normal, and it isn’t “just part of the job.”

New public opinion research reveals a majority of Ontarians think Labour Minister David Piccini should resign or be removed from Doug Ford’s cabinet because of the ongoing stream of scandals surrounding the government’s Skills Development Fund (SDF).
“Calls for accountability are only growing louder,” said CUPE Ontario President @FredHahnCUPE
“Minister Piccini has used the Skills Development Fund – $2.5 billion of the public’s money – as a slush fund to benefit insider friends of the Ford Conservatives. It’s the latest corruption involving lobbyists from the Ford government and clearly the people of Ontario want the person in charge to be held responsible.”

🚨 BREAKING: The Ford government is taking control of four school boards — TDSB, OCDSB, TCDSB, and the Dufferin-Peel Catholic board — in a sweeping move that will likely undermine local democracy.
Minister Calandra claims it’s about “accountability” - but look at Thames Valley, already under ministry supervision:
❌ No public budget presentation
❌ No input from communities
❌ No accountability
This isn’t transparency. It’s a power grab!
Meanwhile, school boards are being forced to do more with less. Since 2018, the Ford government has taken more than $6 billion out of the classroom and funding has fallen FAR behind inflation. As we have said, and @OPSBA has said, per-student funding has dropped by nearly $1500 since Ford took office in 2018, leaving a $693M shortfall across English public boards this year alone!
They're just trying to distact from 7 years of chronic underfunding 😡

"Post-secondary spending will drop from $14.2B this year to almost $13B in 2025-26. @JPHornick warns of more cuts to programming, staff and even shuttering campuses. 'Colleges were already in a hole to begin with — this just digs deeper.'" #ONPSE #ONPoli
