Ford blinked. He saw parents and other unions mobilizing to support CUPE education workers. He saw poll numbers suggesting the public blamed his government for the dispute. He saw unprecedented public support for a general strike – and he backed down. #canlab #onpoli #onted

This is Laura Walton, head spokeswoman for CUPE Ontario education workers. She’s a hero. She won a battle that will have a positive impact on workers for generations. It’s not too much to say she saved our right to bargain & to strike. So proud she is part of CUPE! #canlab #ableg

Ford claims that CUPE education workers going on strike is worse than his decision to invoke the notwithstanding clause. Imagine thinking that people exercising their legal rights is worse than extinguishing people's rights. #canlab #onted #onpoli

I hope that for many young people who have only known a labour movement in retreat, last week’s glimpse of the power of an organized working-class, and of a general strike, will encourage them to join a union or become more active in their union. #canlab #39kIsNotEnough #onlab

Lesson #3: We don’t have to wait for an election to take on, and defeat, right-wing governments, including Ford in Ontario. #39kIsNotEnough #justice4workers #OntEd #canlab #onlab #topoli #FireLecce #GeneralStrike #GeneralStrikeON

Ontario workers delivered a spectacular blow to Premier Doug Ford’s government this week. Just four days after ramming through unprecedented anti-worker legislation, Ford announced its full repeal. labornotes.org/2022/11/genera
