4,000 OPSEU workers are on strike across Ontario in response to growing workloads, poor working conditions, and low wages. This overwhelmingly female workforce is making less today than it did in 2018. They deserve our support. See: bit.ly/4vE5JO8 @ricardotranjan.bsky.social @policyalternatives.ca

Why are Ontario social and community service workers striking? | CCPA

OPSEU workers are dealing with more work, less funding, and lower wages. So they're fighting back
