Art Gallery of Ontario The Art Gallery of Ontario expansion will need additional contracts to complete. Will these contracts be full-time? If not, management is intent on using a model of precarious work. Our members know the work and should be offered it first before management contracts out.

Art Gallery of Ontario The Art Gallery of Ontario's pattern of reducing full-time positions through attrition or replacing them with part-time positions will fracture the bargaining unit and jeopardize key benefits that rely on contributions proportionate to earnings, like the pension plan.

The bargaining team is united that a true win comes with movement on contracting out protections for part-timers.

Art Gallery of Ontario is hoping to divide and conquer. But precarity for part-timers is a crack the Employer will exploit to come for full-time workers next.

Local 535 - representing Art Gallery of Ontario workers on strike - headed back to the table Wednesday morning, joined by JP Hornick.

15 hrs later, it was clear key decision makers were missing — and the AGO walked away from the table, without notifying the Union. An update thread 🧵⬇️

Workers want a fair deal & to get back to work. Instead, the Employer is busy tabling language which would mandate the Union to remove “all posted public statements that frame the other party in a negative light' — like this one.

It’s time to get serious. No Deal means No AGO.

Art Gallery of Ontario It quickly became clear that the Employer’s key “decision makers” were missing and unreachable.

So where was Art Gallery of Ontario Leadership? On a plane with donors enroute to the Venice Biennale, to the tune of $25,000 a ticket? They weren’t at the table, ready to get us to a deal.

JP Hornick Public Health ON PHO workers are fighting back. They’ve collected roughly 9,000 signatures from members of their communities to stop the closures and more are coming in each day.

Hamilton Health Sciences OPSEU LOCAL 273 Sara Labelle, chair of the Hospital Professionals Division, joined to support OPSEU LOCAL 273 after they delivered a petition, signed by the majority of members, to management at Hamilton General. It demands action on the staff recruitment & retention crisis stemming from unfair pay.

Health care professionals employed by Hamilton Health Sciences rallied today at all three hospital sites to demand pay equity. Members of OPSEU LOCAL 273 are paid significantly less than their counterparts across the province. Rain or shine, we fight for workers on the frontlines! #ONLab #ONpoli

Happy to support the striking workers at the ⁦Art Gallery of Ontario⁩ They deserve decent wages and job security. Over 60% are precarious part-time. No way to treat these workers. ⁦OPSEU⁩

Thank you MPP Peter Tabuns for dropping by the picket lines today on Day 23 to support Art Gallery of Ontario workers on strike💧 Sun or rain, it’s still strike season baby!

Thank you to the OPSEU/SEFPO President JP Hornick and members working at Public Health Ontario (PHO) Labs who came to Queen's Park today to sound the alarm about the potential closure of six out of eleven PHO labs in Ontario.

Bill 166 claims to protect student safety and inclusion.  Instead, it demonstrates the Ford government’s continued failure to understand mental health and anti-racism, and its insistence on trying to control post-secondary institutions rather than fund them.
