🧵: Victory and vindication for workers! Just a few hours ago, the Ontario Superior Court struck down Bill 124, the wage restraint legislation.

@OFLabour

CUPE Ontario led a coalition of 70 unions and associations through @OFLabour because it was clear from the beginning that this legislation was unconstitutional and a breach of our Charter rights.

Bill 124 capped public sector wage increases at 1% since 2019 and now the courts have reinforced that this legislation violated the guarantee of freedom of association.

Today, CUPE education workers were offered a wage cut in the face of rapidly rising inflation.

The lowest paid workers in the school system, making under $40k/year, were only offered a 2% increase, while workers making more than $40k were offered a paltry 1.25%.

This amounts to less than $800 per year on average, when these workers are facing annual rent increases in the thousands of dollars and hundreds more per month in grocery bills.

$800 per year doesn’t even come close to meeting these increases to their cost of living.

Soaring inflation, 1-2% wage increases, and the wage restrictions in Bill 124, mean that in the midst of an unprecedented increase to the cost of living, frontline workers face a wage cut they don’t deserve. And we’re still going through severe staff shortages and burnout.

Yesterday the members of CUPE 1295 at Brock Univeristy held an information picket and rally for a wage increase that 1. ensures an orderly start to the academic year and 2. recognizes the value of these workers.

"You have 280,000 CUPE members behind you!"

@Yoequality shares the full support of CUPE Ontario with members that are facing huge increases to their cost of living and wages that just aren't keeping up.

And @FredHahnCUPE tells the CUPE 1295 members that "No one wants a strike. But if there is a strike, I'll be out there with you beginning Day 1!"

LTC residents have been left with horrifically inadequate care during the pandemic & nearly 4,000 have died. However, the problem of age discrimination in health care predates the current crisis.

Hence, we are calling for systemic change - a thread 1/13
