Any members of the Canadian union CUPE, out there? Did you know? Your "comrades" in Vancouver are helping the cops brutalize homeless people by executing street sweeps? All your other efforts are accursed as long as you help the police state do evil. MAKE THEM STOP. #CUPE #unionstrong #union #unions #canpoli #BCpoli #vancouver

Any #Union peeps out there?

In the words of Martin Luther King Jr... "The Labour movement was the principal force that transformed misery and despair into hope and progress"

We need to support workers.

I am a member of #CUPE

#Ontario education workers vote to accept four-year contract

Looks like the ratification vote turnout was 76% and that about 73% voted to accept the tentative agreement.

#CUPE announces that the union has ratified the agreement with the #Ontario government. 73% of those that voted, cast their ballot to accept.

I guess we find out whether #CUPE members voted to ratify the contract with the #Ontario government sometime around 10:00 A.M. this morning. Guessing the results of the vote will leak out between now and then. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/cupe-contract-vote-results-1.6674337

@cp24 Although #CUPE originally said the voting would be completed over the weekend, I don't think we should read anything into the extension until December 5. The union probably just wants to communicate with the membership and be as transparent as possible about the tentative agreement.

Update on this:

"Despite saying the deal "falls short," Walton said the union's central bargaining committee will recommend members accept it. She said the union expects that the voting will begin Thursday and take "several days.""

So it looks like it's a recommended deal.

#CUPE #onpoli #onted

Time to finish planning my in-person lessons for the week now that the strike has been averted. I'd like to say congrats to #CUPE but it doesn’t seem like they got a great deal.
Maybe a #GeneralStrike is needed in this province to show the government how we feel about every terrible decision they continue to make.

The #CUPE #strike has been averted (temporarily). The #union is putting the tentative agreement in the hands of the members for ratification.

Not clear (from what I've seen) if they are recommending that the deal be accepted, rejected or taking a neutral position, so stay tuned. They say they're disappointed with no improvements and it's "the best they could get" for their 55,000 education workers.

Dear Parents

I have been working for the past 2,246 days to keep kids in class. All I am looking for is a fair deal for you and the kids. I am bargaining in good faith but the horrible union has rejected my offer of 800 paid sick days per year and historic investments in things.#OnPoli #CUPE

We had several #fog warnings in #Toronto before the snow arrived. This is a shot I took on the way to rally in #solidarity with #CUPE education workers at #QueensPark. The caption I used in Instagram was “fog everything”.

Another looming CUPE strike means potentially more time indoors with my teacher-wife and 5y/o.

I have a feeling I may end up being called into the office for a few days *cough* 😅

#WFH #CUPE #onpoli #worklife

CUPE Ontario files five day notice to resume strike next Monday after little progress with the government.

The government had raised its offer to 3.5%, which would be about $1 added per year to the average CUPE workers wage, and would still be an effective cut of over 7% because of inflation over the past year and the decade preceding it

Doug Ford & Education Minister Stephen Lecce are about to hold another press conference related to #CUPE educational workers situation.

I'm watching. Not sure what the point of this is. Let's hope they don't say anything stupid. Again.

Why did you use s.33? "Endless premiers have used it." "I said from the get go that we'd would use every tool at our disposal to make sure kids are in class."

Ford ends his news conference on what he calls a "lighter note" and a story about his tie. It's the #twilightzone

So much of labour relations is political (on both sides) and trying to glean what's really going on from a news conference is a "mug's game" (to quote my late father). #onlab #onted #CUPE #Bill28

RT @munakadri@twitter.com

If @fordnation@twitter.com walks out today and does what I’m guessing he’s going to do, it will only add more fuel to the fire.

Repeal the legislation and bring Ontario back from the brink.

Is anyone else #confused in #ontario ? #CUPE already spent how many days at the bargaining table before proper notice they would #stike. Is this progress?

Timing is everything - I'm #teaching "industrial conflict - #strikes and #lockouts" to my graduate class tonight.

What a #rollercoaster the past week has been and the ride isn't over yet.
