             What’s happening in Alberta should alarm us all! #OSSTF stands with @albertateachers as the government uses the notwithstanding clause to force them back to work—overriding their Charter right to strike and bargain collectively.

             1 in 5 Ontario workers earn less than a living wage — and it’s women & racialized workers who are hit hardest. Instead of investing in people, essential services, and education, the PC government keeps cutting... Ontario deserves FAR better than a race to the bottom. #OSSTF
