On this day each year we celebrate the gains unions/workers have made. The struggles of working people to have better working conditions, safer workplaces, decent wages and benefits. This year COVID-19 has changed the face of the workplace. #LabourDay2020 #onlab #canlab

1/8

Front line workers were recognized as heroes, the health and safety of workers brought to the forefront, as many workers lost their jobs, others working from home while navigating family responsibilities and, sadly front line workers lost their lives.

2/8

We know this government puts profit over people at every opportunity.

But workers are standing together to:

Demand health & safety protections for all.

3/8

To demand that the Ford Conservatives stop their unrealistic plans for a safe return to school and protect education workers, teachers, students and families.

To demand racial justice.

4/8

To demand 7 permanent, employer-paid sick days in Ontario with an addition 14 days during an outbreak.

To demand a LIVABLE minimum wage.

We are calling for labour protections to include migrant workers and for migrant workers to have full immigration status.

5/8

We call in this government to change its ways and respect worker’s right to bargain collectively to stop undermining collective agreements and the charter rights of all workers.

Workers are the backbone of this province and together we demand a just recovery for all.

6/8

The labour movement understands as we move to an economic recovery & prepare for the future, we have an opportunity to build a better society to ensure we have decent jobs for everyone, strong public services, racial justice & equality for all, healthy & safe communities

7/8

Although this #LabourDay2020 will look and feel different from ones in the past, we celebrate the #PowerOfMany where our voices, our actions our demands together in #Solidarity will bring the change all workers deserve.
