OSSTF WEARS BLACK TO MARK ANNIVERSARY OF FORD'S ELECTION,
JUNE 7, 2019
June 7, 2019 marked one year of Ford government in Ontario. During this time, the PC government has cut funding from education, health care, libraries, and vital public services, while fixating on beer and corporate tax cuts. Ford is failing children and families in Ontario. Members of many different labour unions in Ontario wore black on Friday, June 7 to protest these cuts.
