#cupe

1 post1 participant0 posts today

I have just moved from mstdn.ca (with the same handle) so it's time for an #Introduction post!

I am a School Library Technician in Ottawa and a proud #CUPE Steward for my Local. I love to knit, read, hang out with my family and play cozy video games (with Balders Gate thrown in occasionally). I drink far too much Yorkshire Tea, preferably with a nice chocolate hobnob to go with it, and prefer my blanket to going outside.

I'm the last mask wearer at work.

Continued thread

#CUPE 3903 (representing contract faculty, TAs, grad assistants) is now striking at #York (with a rally happening right now). My department has voted unanimously to suspend classes in solidarity with CUPE.

CUPE members ought to get the pay raises they deserve! Particularly because their pay has been suppressed by a now-illegal action of the #Ford government.

[edited to fix typo. I think I need glasses]

Ol' Higgsy Baby hates #unions as much as he hates the #french. He's found another way for him and his pals to take more workers money by stealing their pensions, forcing them into high-risk schemes made to profit the #elite.

#Higgs rammed through legislation that illegally subverts signed #union contracts.

#CUPE is threatening illegal strikes in response.

I stand with CUPE! All power to all people!
