Today, workers made history: after a first-ever LCBO strike, the LBED bargaining team has reached a tentative settlement with the Employer. Workers went on strike to protect good jobs & LCBO revenues supporting public services – this agreement just does that. #OnLab #OnPoli

Details of the settlement will be presented tonight to workers first, before they can be made public. This deal was born out of the stand every LCBO worker took on picket lines across Ontario – knowing the public was on their side. Thank you for the joining us in this fight!

There are six (6) remaining days of bargaining in July. Here's what you can do to learn more: ➡️Stay informed at collegefaculty.org ➡️Get connected on socials ➡️Contact your Local #TrainingOntariosFuture #OPSEU #SEFPO #Solidarity #Colleges #Faculty #KeepItPublic

.LCBO President/CEO is a Retail Council of Canada of Canada board member, which lobbied the Ford gov’t to privatize alcohol sales. “George Soleas’ conflict of interest is unconscionable. Crown corporations are supposed to benefit the people of Ontario, not big business CEOs” JP Hornick

In 2017, contract faculty across Ontario colleges voted to join OPSEU/SEFPO. 7 years later, the OLRB has issued a decision to re-open ballot boxes, paving the way towards growing the union through new members across the province. #OnPoli #OnLab Read more: opseu.org/news/contract-…

I just want people to understand that despite all the right-wing propaganda, literally NO ONE has died of an overdose at a safe consumption site in Canada because they do exactly what they're supposed to do - prevent overdose deaths. Without them, people will die.

Listening to the experts means the frontline workers who navigate this crisis every day, the doctors who tell us these sites save lives, *and* the people who rely on these services. Plain and simple, people in our communities will die.

.Doug Ford decision to close certain life-saving supervised drug consumption facilities will cost lives & hurt communities. It will also lead to increasing the burden on already stretched Emergency Medical Services and on our ERs and hospitals. More: ona.org/news-posts/202…

The Ford gov't announced closure of ten safe consumption sites across Ontario is an unconscionable decision to cut life-saving services during a health care crisis that's taken over 45,000 lives across the country in a decade. #OnPoli #OnLab Full release: bit.ly/3yOYwDm

Pro worker sloganeering when it’s politically advantageous will only get you so far. At some point, you have to actually walk the walk - literally. Any plans to join locked out workers on the line, Doug Ford?

New Post: Can a government official openly campaign for an elected union official who the government doesn't like to be replaced? I have my doubts. Labor laws prohibit outside interference in internal union affairs & how unions represent workers. lawofwork.ca/can-the-minist…

Another example of something we’re sadly used to: the Doug Ford government ignoring the advice of their own experienced health-care professionals! ONA stands with our unions allies in support of life-saving harm reduction. #onhealth #onpoli toronto.citynews.ca/2024/08/22/ont…
