STATEMENT: #OSSTF rejects statements made by Ford & Min Lecce that attempt to manufacture false divisions b/w parents, educators & students.
Their harmful comments disregard the rights of students & show a profound lack of understanding of the role of public ed. #OntEd #2SLGBTQI

This #PrideMonth, it's become even more urgent to defend human rights for queer and trans people.
In April, 2SLGBTQIA Unifor members met at the Pride Conference to organize, defend human rights, and build community.
See why all workers need to take up that mission.
As @Lanampayne shared at the conference, equality doesn't just happen, we need to fight for it.

Doug Ford had the power to stop the chaos in Ottawa and at the border all along. But he chose not to. Instead, he snowmobiled at the cottage while people suffered. The NDP will keep pushing for real action to stand up for our communities and end this crisis.

When you protest with swastikas, perpetrate violence & hurl bigoted slurs, your goal isn’t freedom or fairness for all. It’s about scaring others into silence & creating a space for hate & dangerous behaviour to flourish. Whatever cause you claim to be behind, that is never ok.
