Home care in Ontario is in crisis. It’s understaffed, unsafe for workers and is being forced to rely on private agencies to fill some very big care gaps. During this round of bargaining, VON members’ goal is to negotiate a new, decent contract.

SOLIDARITY WITH CUPW STTP MEMBERS AT CANADA POST ON A NATION-WIDE STRIKE!

Canada Post isn't just mail, it's good union jobs. Like our colleges, hospitals, schools, and factories, it's the backbone of our communities. But right now, unemployment is rising, housing starts are stalling, and the bosses and politicians are busy lining their pockets while our neighbourhoods get gutted.

Workers and allies sent Graham Lloyd a clear message: tell the truth about your plan for our public colleges, and bargain fairly and transparently.
