And on October 23rd, seven minutes after the Ford Government announced that they

intended to repeal Bill 148, the College Employer Council that represents all 24

colleges was the first one to welcome the repeal within a few minutes of

having announced that. (SHAME)

No other public sector group congratulated the government for it.

They were happy that they were taking away paid sick days,

clawing back on the Minimum Wage,

and ending equal pay for equal work that we had been fighting for.

People expect colleges and universities to make peoples' lives better, to be

model employers, not to make it worse. The reason the colleges could put out a

press release so quickly is that they knew what was coming and they had

lobbied for it. They were part of the Chamber of

Commerce's campaign to spread lies and misinformation about the impact of

decent work laws. We've come to learn

that at least six colleges and more

universities have been a part of this campaign; that is a shame!

This bill is being passed or will be passed with no consultation.

In fact the Minister refuses to meet with anybody.

They're not even in their offices on Constituency Day.

Maybe she's sick and couldn't show up for work?

What's the per hour minimum wage for MPPs?

You and absolutely everybody that you know -- your jobs over the next few weeks are to get

as many people as possible to be vocal, to be talking to their MPPs, to be

calling Doug Ford and telling them to keep their hands off workers rights!
