🧵 Yesterday, Doug Ford announced that his government would immediately be repealing its strikebreaking act, #Bill28.

Faced with a united labour movement and massive public opposition behind @CUPEOntario, Ford backed down. This is people power. #onted 1/6

The fact that @CUPEOntario education workers withholding labour was enough to shut down schools makes it clear: education workers are essential workers.

With #Bill28 repealed, workers retain their bargaining power, and negotiations can resume. It’s a big win. #onted #onpoli 2/6
Ford’s overreach brought together a massive coalition—public and private sector labour unions, climate and social justice activists, parents and students—in a broad and powerful movement. For the first time in a generation, a true general strike was on the table. #onted 3/6
Going forward, Ford faces an emboldened labour movement, an empowered opposition, and an awakened public. He knows that if his government oversteps, the people have the power to rise up and shut the province down. #onted #onpoli 4/6
We’ve proven that together, we can win. Repealing #Bill28 is a huge victory, but this fight isn’t over yet. Education workers deserve a fair contract.

Now, let’s keep that pressure going and support workers in their negotiations: act.leadnow.ca/edu-workers-et… #onted #onpoli 5/6
Reminder: The fight to protect workers’ rights is bigger than what’s happening in Ontario.

Our struggles are shared.
Our movements are united.
Our power is collective.
Solidarity forever. ✊
