The federal government is trying to push through changes to Section 107 of the Labour Code to restrict our right to strike. Workers are united in opposition. You can help by sending this letter to MPs: workerstogether.ca/repeal-10…

As we approach this year's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (September 30), OPSEU/SEFPO is calling out the Carney and Ford governments for rolling back their commitments to genuine reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.

The right to strike levels the playing field. When talks break down, it gives workers a fair way to settle a dispute. We're concerned that Bill C-39 would let a minister end legal strikes on vague grounds. The right to strike is fundamental and needs to be protected. Read on: nupge.ca/2026/bill-c-39-unde…

“Belt tightening”?
Interesting.
$2.2B on Ontario Place.
$1.4B expanding alcohol sales.
$3B on $200 rebate cheques.
But when it comes to the people the government was elected to serve, suddenly it’s time to tighten the belt?
Students have gone without long enough. #onted

Funny how our right to strike is a problem, but multimillion-dollar CEO pay isn’t.
Bill C-39 would weaken workers’ bargaining power and tip the scales further in favour of employers.
The right to strike is non-negotiable.
Tell your MP today.
