Based on what we uncovered in Kern County, we created the “Autopsy Initiative” which provides free second autopsies to families who lost loved ones in police killings. We have completed over 40 autopsies since the program launched last year #KillingCounty

🚨BREAKING: Devastating, heartbreaking, and beyond comprehension - @fordnation govt votes against #PaidSickDays for the 28th time‼️
How much longer can #OnPoli healthcare system, struggling workers & sick kids take this?
SHAME on those who voted NO to Bill 4👇#Justice4Workers

BREAKING: @fordnation & all of his MPPs have once again voted against giving all workers 10 permanent #PaidSickDays.
It's the 28th time they've denied workers legislated Paid Sick Days.
This isn’t a government working for workers.
This is a government working against workers.

A combative moment at Queen's Park today when an NDP MPP compare CUPE salaries to salaries in the Ford government's back benches.

Oddly enough, a two week strike in schools could possibly help our sick children and overburdened hospital systems than anything the provincial government is doing atm

This is BRILLIANT. Take the time to watch this impassioned and on-the-money speech. BRAVO!
Crisis? What crisis?
That's the response from the government to health care professionals at @CHEO helping kids who are in the hospital right now, struggling to breathe.
@fordnation honour the office you hold: #MaskUp indoors, #RepealBill124, and fund the healthcare we need.

A message from Laura Walton, President of @osbcucscso: Ford will say it’s us versus parents, but we are the parents. We are the caregivers. We will not be bought or distracted. These next five days are crucial. Tell Ford, Lecce, and your MPP we need a GoodDealNow.ca

I want to thank @CUPEOntario for standing up for my kids, their Charter Rights and their education.

Support for a #GeneralStrike in Ontario is growing. This is unprecedented in so many ways.

The last time we heard from @fordnation was on Nov.2. It appears that all unions have publicly distanced themselves from his gov, except one. Criticism of his actions are coming in from all around the world. The legislature is not sitting next week. Where do you think he is?

We need every Canadian to fight Ontario's Bill 28. We cannot allow our rights to be stripped away.
Take action now:

A massive 71% of Ontarians believe the government is taking the wrong approach and should get back to the negotiating table.
The people are making their voices clear about what must be done.
Can you hear them @fordnation? Get back to the table.

If the infringement on HUMAN RIGHTS isn't enough for a general strike across Ontario, then I don't know what is.
You think Education Workers are alone? Our software company is currently discussing the possibility of walking out in solidarity.
Watch out.

Welcome to Doug Ford's Ontario where the kids aren't in school, you can't get into a hospital and you can't use the transit system. Doug's Get'ner dun.

Thank you to our coworkers from the @OPCouncil for the statement of support & solidarity! #RepealBill28
Ontario's principals & vice-principals oppose the government’s move to pass legislation, overriding the protections enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, imposing a collective agreement on
CUPE members in Ontario. Full statement: bit.ly/3U51n0j
