Bill 124 – Worth Fighting For
The Worth Fighting For campaign is about ensuring that community and social service workers receive the wages they lost under Bill 124, which capped wage increases at 1% and was later ruled unconstitutional. Frontline workers supported Ontarians through challenging times and deserve fair compensation for their dedication and service. This campaign brings workers together to demand retroactive wage increases, proper funding for public services, and respect for the value of the work they do every day. (cupe.on.ca)
Come Out and support and join the picket line if you have free time.
Remember if they get it we get it!
Donna and Jenn spent the week at the Cupe Ontario Convention Voting in the new President and Treasurer.
June is Deafblind Awareness Month
June is recognized as Deafblind Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about the experiences, achievements, and contributions of people who are deafblind. The month was chosen to honor the birthday of Helen Keller, who was born on June 27, 1880. Despite being deafblind, Helen Keller became a renowned author, educator, and advocate, inspiring millions around the world.
