CUPE 1281 is in solidarity with Toronto city workers represented by @cupelocal79.bsky.social! Fair compensation is a bare minimum that the city is failing to meet. If you live in Toronto let them know you support these frontline workers! cupe.on.ca/supporttoron...

The staff at the UTSU will be in strike position later this month in response to the employer demanding concessions on work-life balance and refusing a fair wage increase. Check out the press release: 1281.cupe.ca/2025/03/05/c...
