Education workers provide the critical services our kids depend on, but they haven't had a raise in years. They aren't to blame for Ontario's budget deficit. Look to the Ford Conservatives' tax breaks for their rich corporate friends instead. ↩️

What an event! We crashed a Ford Conservative annual convention in Mississauga to send a strong message that #39KIsNotEnough . Ford and Lecce, don’t be a bully! It’s time to support education workers so they can continue to support kids and communities. #OnPoli #OntEd

🧵: The Ontario Superior Court of Justice just struck down Ford’s Bill 124, ruling that it violates workers’ constitutional rights to collectively bargain & to strike. Ford needs to get his hands off workers’ rights. Give workers the respect they deserve. No appeal of Bill 124!
