A lot of shoddy thinking in high places uncovered by Dr. Marjorie Cohen : 11.7% or 55% - which is too big a wage increase?

What happened today is proof that a majority government CANNOT do whatever they want.
Congratulations to all CUPE workers for making history. Your commitment to protecting all of our rights will never be forgotten.
Thank you.

Surprised the Queens Park reporters were unprepared to question the premier on the math in his presser. The outrageous claims made by about education workers were Trump like in their falsity, yet he got away with these statements unquestioned.

Replying to @PaulVangeog @Sflecce and @CUPEOntario
The math isn't mathing:
- Based on past pay raises CUPE members earning $39k today earned $35838 in 2012
- the buying power of $35838 in 2012 = buying power of $44712 today
- Lecce's 2.5%/year over 4 years would bring the avg to pay to $43049 IN 4 YEARS!
- these are pay DECREASES

Hi! Former comms lead on the employer’s side for provincial collective bargaining here. What you just heard from the Premier is pure nonsense. He basically said he’d lower his gun (s33) if you agree to hand over your wallet (your rights). That’s not bargaining. It’s a stick-up.

Okay—so the govt will take back legislation against the right to strike…if CUPE doesn’t use its right to strike. Does anyone else see the problem here?

People need to realize quickly that this battle between CUPE and the government is NOT about CUPE getting it’s ideal contract.
It’s about labour rights. It’s about the right to protest, the right to associate, the right not to be legislated into servitude.
This is serious.

Bill 23 and Bill 28 both serve to undermine the public interest.
Unity is our best tool, let's use it.

Agree that it was a tactic. Media can talk about both, let’s not pit one against the other. The framing is stripping the protections of labour and environment at the same time. The use of the notwithstanding clause was a nuclear event and this is a land grab. Both horrendous. twitter.com/Mikeggibbs/sta…

Yes why isn’t it « corporate bosses » & « union leaders »? And why not « the union offered » & « the employer demanded »? #powerofwords #halftwistequalsnewperspectives

CUPE’s wage demand is entirely justified.
They deserve our total support.

Privatization is theft of the public good for the private profit.
As we head into this looming recession watch how the following tactics are used justify selling off our public assets and services.
1. Cut funding
2. Undermine the service
3. Blame the service
4. Sell the service

World’s 7 biggest oil firms make £150bn profit.
Only 56 out of 212 countries have bigger GDP.
Their profiteering is our cost-of-living crisis.
Tax dodging, environmental abuse is rife
Despite huge profits, companies receive govt subsidies.
Who governs?

I am not an Ontarian, or a teacher, or an education assistant, but I have a perspective on the Ford government’s “Keeping Students in Schools Act”. I was Minister of Education in Alberta for 7 years, including the time the Charter was developed and enacted. #onted #onpoli

Our minister of finance says inflation is tough on Canadians. Does she support forcing many to lose their jobs as the right solution ? Seriously.

Our investigation into how the NDP establishment stole the B.C. leadership race.
Rule-bending, voter suppression by private agencies, panicked calls to labour allies.
Part of what a top former NDP official calls a “pervasive culture of cheating." #bcpoli

I wonder what BC NDP bylaws say about conflict of interest. In a 15 minute google, I flagged 17/39 execs with potential conflict of interests in the Anjali DQ vote.
Eg.
-Declared support for a candidate
-Work for a group/person who endorsed a candidate
Caveats to follow...

A bit much for Eby to give a speech "welcoming all the new members" given that according to NDP chief electoral officer Elizabeth Cull's report:
"The Eby Campaign requested that all new BC NDP memberships received since the leadership contest began on July 17, 2022 be suspended"
