Sunday is #IWD2020, and a time to reflect on this #onpoli government’s record on women’s work. #canlab #canfem
The @fordnation government had targeted public sector workers. Public sector work is mostly women’s work; women are 62% of public sector workers. @CCPA research shows that the racialized gender pay gap is smaller in the public sector. policyalternatives.ca/publications/r…
Bill 124 legislates limitations on public sector compensation increases to a maximum of 1%. As @ontarionurses points out, this legislation will disproportionately have a negative impact on women.

1) The notion workers take advantage of #PaidSickDays is a lie told by Big Business lobbyists. In reality: Evidence from jurisdictions with legislated paid sick leave shows workers rarely abuse their paid sick days. @mattgallowaycbc #15andFairness #ONpoli #coronavirus
2) In fact, workers with between 5 and 9 days of #PaidSickDays tend to take fewer days than those to which they are entitled. Research shows that the typical worker used only 3 and fully 25% of workers used ZERO paid sick days. #15andFairness #ONPoli #coronavirus
3) The same research showed that parents with #PaidSickDays were more than 20% LESS likely to send their sick child to school than parents who did not have access to paid sick days. #15andFairness #ONPoli #coronavirus

Important @onpoli report from @info_FAO on Ontario tax expenditures. They cost the Province $44.4 billion. This is the second largest spending area, next to health care.
@info_FAO found that over the past eight years tax expenditures grew faster than program spending, averaging 4.4% as compared to 2.6%.
Highest average annual growth was in corporate income tax expenditures, as compared to other taxes.

I guess the cost of hating Kathleen Wynne is 210,000 Ontario college students losing their funding.

I guess the cost of hating Kathleen Wynne is minimum wage earners in Ontario losing a $2000 per year income increase.

I guess the cost of hating Kathleen Wynne is taking away the ability to take time off work if you or your child has been threatened with/experienced sexual, physical, or domestic assault.
