Menstrual equity is a workers’ rights issue. No one should have to pay out of pocket, face stigma, or lose wages because their workplace ignores basic health needs. Read the full OFL statement and take action: ofl.ca/menstrual-eq... #EndPeriodPoverty

On Monday, May 25, supporters and allies of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community convened at the Ontario Legislature to make certain their voices are not ignored. This gathering at QP represents a concrete step we can all take to advocate for improvement and to demonstrate the power of our united solidarity.

Earlier this month, developmental service workers represented by OPSEU L172 in Ingersoll received a final offer from their employer. The workers responded with a decisive "NO." In response the employer locked them out! We were excited to stand in solidarity with these courageous workers today!

Yesterday the OFL attended OPSEU L358 picket sign making event and had the opportunity to meet these workers that support the communities most vulnerable. These workers are seeing their boss ready scab labour as the days countdown to a strike deadline! We know these members are #WorthFightingFor

Gender diversity isn’t new, radical, or confusing. It’s real, it’s lived, and it deserves respect. Our movement is strongest when we make room for everyone to belong. On #IDAHOBIT2026, we choose inclusion over ignorance. #AtTheHeartOfDemocracy

Everyone deserves to feel safe at work and in public spaces without fear or harassment. Gender-neutral washrooms are about safety, accessibility, and dignity. On #IDAHOBIT2026, we unite for people’s safety and dignity, not fear. #AtTheHeartOfDemocracy

Hate has no place in our unions, our workplaces, or our communities. On the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia, we recommit to solidarity, equity, and care for one another. #IDAHOBIT2026 #AtTheHeartOfDemocracy

Ending violence against women, children, and gender-diverse people is inseparable from the work of the labour movement. Today, the OFL and affiliates joined the #MooseHideCampaignDay signature ceremony in Toronto.

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...
