Bill 28: What’s at Stake?

A THREAD 🧵

#IStandWithCUPE #39kIsNotEnough #OntEd #OnLab #OnPoli
The Ford government introduced Bill 28, the Keeping Students in Class Act, four days BEFORE bargaining with CUPE education workers was done.
Bill 28 is pre-emptive back-to-work legislation that FORCES the government’s offer on workers and OVERRIDES their rights and freedoms under the Charter and Human Rights Code for five years.

This is NOT bargaining in good faith.
The Ford government used the notwithstanding clause to ram through this legislation and override constitutionally protected labour rights.

This has NEVER been done before.
Bill 28 is game-changing legislation for unions.

It is dedicated to destroying free collective bargaining, undermining the union, and ending any hope of challenging the government in court.
Bill 28 overrides the:
➡️ Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms
➡️ Human Rights Code
➡️ Labour Relations Act
➡️School Boards Collective Bargaining Act
➡️Education Act
Bill 28 also:
➡️ Strips away workers’ Charter-protected right to strike
➡️ Legislates cuts for workers
➡️ Doubles fines for striking workers
➡️ Issues 20 times the fine for striking unions
➡️ Makes it easier to prosecute workers and unions
Bill 28 is an attack on everyone.

If we allow Doug Ford to get away with this, other workers will face the same threat: contracts imposed by law instead of free collective bargaining.

We won’t let this happen.
Together, we can win! Here’s how you can help:
➡️Join a picket line to support education workers. Find one at: DontBeABully.ca
➡️ Send a message to your MPP: ofl.ca/email-hands-off
➡️ Make your solidarity visible: Put up posters, wear purple, take photos & share them
