On Tuesday, the Ontario government introduced legislation that would force 55,000 frontline education workers into a contract without collective bargaining ‒ and use the Notwithstanding Clause to overrule any legal challenges based on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
No government has ever taken such a direct aim at the right to free and fair collective bargaining under the Charter.
This unprecedented attack on education workers is a threat to all workers in Ontario.
GUELPH — New Democrats in Guelph have selected James Parr to be their NDP candidate in the 2022 provincial election.
