Doug Ford showed up for work for 29 days this year before heading off for a 148 day summer holiday. No wonder his poll numbers are in the toilet. Angus Reid is a respectable polling firm. Good to see them threatening to sue his arse for his lies. globalnews.ca/news/1191280...

Today is OCUFA's Day of Action in support of #fairness4CF. #ONPSE is increasingly being run on gig-style academic work, a result of years of provincial underfunding. The system is under strain, and students and faculty feel the impact. Read the op-ed ➡️ tinyurl.com/cfsmdoa

On the left, a block of white text on a teal background that says "Ontario's  universities are being run on gig work - and students are paying the price.

Short-term contracts. Lower pay than peers. Few benefits. Precarious working conditions for contract faculty doesn’t just hurt faculty, it impacts student learning and campus stability. Read the op-ed and learn why it’s time to stop the gigification of teaching. #Fairness4CF tinyurl.com/cfsmdoa
The growing presence of contract faculty on campuses represents the quiet "gigification" of university teaching.

Alberta's Bill 11 sounds death knell for universal healthcare
It is hard to overstate how destructive Bill 11 is. If Alberta and Ontario fail to fight provincial privatization, free universal healthcare across the country is at risk of collapsing.

Pay transparency without enforcement puts the risk on workers, not employers. A $50,000 salary range isn’t transparency. “There is a big difference in a salary range of $50,000,” says Walton, OFL President. "It’s the difference between having to work one or two jobs.” www.thestar.com/business/how...
thestar.com
How much does that job pay? Employers still failing to comply with new salary transparency laws
As of Jan. 1, job postings by employers with 25 or more workers are required to include salary ranges within $50,000, and alert prospective employees if artificial intelligence is used
