Bill 148 is Now the Law
Last Wednesday, Bill 148 passed its third and final reading and will now be the law in Ontario thanks to the efforts of trade unionists, community leaders and social activists across Ontario. We are especially proud of the Toronto Public Library workers who worked tirelessly to advocate for the progressive proposals in Bill 148. A living wage, better parental leave, sick days, and protection for workers and their families who suffer domestic violence will help ensure a better life for working people. A special shoutout to the awesome #librarywarriors Brandon, Emma, Gobi, Louisa, Alice and Austin for their work on this!
Toronto Public Library Workers #StandWithFaculty
The Toronto Public Library Workers #StandWithFaculty. Ontario college faculty, counsellors and librarians have been on strike since October 16 against an unfair employer who has consistently exploited its workforce, and in doing so, has compromised the education of thousands of college students. Precarious work hurts everyone - and will do so for generations to come.
