Last September, groups representing thousands of public sector employeesThe groups argued the bill violates a section of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms that protects meaningful collective bargaining.with the groups' ability to bargain for job security, benefits and seniority.
Interim leader of the Liberal Party of Ontario, John Fraser, also urged the government not to appeal. Earlier today, Unifor, Canada’s largest private sector union, tweeted it will be"seeking remedies for affected members" in response to today's court decision. The court’s decision comes after frontline health-care workers held a rally outside of Toronto’s Sunnybrook Hospital Tuesday afternoon to continue their fight for better wages and more staffing to address the ongoing hospital crisis across the province.
An Ontario court has struck down a Ford government bill that limited wages for public sector workers. “I just think we need some respect. Like a 24-cent an hour raise after what we've been through over COVID, these last three years have been horrible. And they're saying they're going to give us 24 cents. Come on,” Paul Johnson, a personal support worker, told CP24.
“We ain't failing here. It's Doug Ford and his plan that is failing. Each and every one of us, we aren’t treated with respect, the protection and the pay that we deserve and so today we say enough is enough,” Sanjay Thapa, SEIU chief steward, said.
Maybe we should start thinking of a bigger picture their Mr Ford Quit thinking just about yourself and your cabinet ministers and dont get me started on fancy sox up their..🙈🙊
Seriously let's waste more tax paying money.. to help boost his ego, rather then help the hard working taxing paying citizen make society work. Let's stop putting more people into low income who are out there working everyday!! Low income= less tax income🙄
DougFord only supports wage increases for workers at the Chinese buffet where he eats his feelings out of a greasy trough
RESIGNATION of fordnation is mandatory!! resignford
Would you expect anything else? He doesn’t care if he wastes money that could be used for something worthwhile.
Jesus ,dude take your head out of your butt, people are hurting financially! Not all of us had a silver spoon like you, thousands are 1 paycheck from being bankrupt! Stop padding the dammed deck in favor of the rich!! Just be better that bill is not doing better !!
How about the people vote on a bill that all government officials do jot get raises since they seem to feel that tax payers money should be paid out to them and all their friends instead of hard working people.
Shocking
What piece of work this guy is. Just keeps wasting taxpayers money.
Doug continues to drop the Ford name down. So sad.
Using our tax dollars to try to ensure a group of taxpayers continue to have their wages suppressed all while continuing to enjoy his own large increase in salary.
This is the leader who people voted for seems more like a bully, but that's just me, I guess
Frontline workers medical, educators and those who work in shelters that address homelessness and counsel and keep ppl safe, psw and those who work in long care facilities. Many positions cover 'the whole person's' rights for education, emotional and physical support!
When I see this guy's fat head I prepare for more bad news
Dougie 'The Dictator' Ford keeps trying to add to 'Greedflation' as our governments seem hellbent on destroying our Country in line with Klaus Schwab and world economic forum's 'Great Reset'
You tryed to pass a bill that was unconstitutional and you lost, what a surprise. Time to move .
This guy needs to be voted out. I'm conservative but this guys actions are truly cringeworthy. We need a decent conservative representative for Ontario. His favourite thing to do if he doesn't like something is to quickly push thru a bill.
Everyone is overpaid these days anyways that why we have have inflation
Disgusting 🤢. This is disrespect to all the health and education workers. Come to your senses Ford.
Doug Ford..standing against the people every.single.time!
There has to be a way for the people to trigger an election or a no confidence vote because this guy is now just trying to see what he can get away with
Spend taxpayers money suppressing healthcare workers.. and then spend more money bringing in foreign ones because we are burnt out… when was the last time any of them survived on a 1% increase. Disgusting. They know nurses can’t strike. RepealBill124
Is he trying to be the worst premier we’ve ever had or?
He appeals everything. Doesn't care about a decent wage for health care workers. Appealed the proxy pay equity decision to pay private owned Healthcare workers retro pay. Been waiting over 10 years for their owed money. What a shame.
fordnation of course you are appealing this decision. U and all your bloody comrads get more $ than you are worth already from our paycheck that we already work our asses off Nd can't even afford toilet paper..you are nothing but a waste of space..get the he'll out 🤬🤬🤬
Let's waste more of Ontario taxpayers money & get nothing in return. Let's appeal the bill which keeps raises to 1% seems funny didn't you give your PC reps 12% raises..how about reducing your increases & help fund better Healthcare & education. fordnation stop wasting money
Dude's disgusting. The people he represents aren't supposed to fund his bullshit or his [delusional] sense of self-importance. It's overly antagonistic and corrupt, and it needs to come to an end. Vote this asshole out as soon as you get the chance.
To be honest, all positive vibes people should just put all their money together on a certain person amongst them, who they decide as a representative of the world and kick out all these toxic government people. To fight the bullies we gotta come together and make our own HERO
Stop spending our money for your mafia government. You are pure evil
We miss Rob Ford.
FORD IS VERY CHEAP HE DOESNT WANT TO PAY ANYONE BUT WILL ALWAYS TAKE MONEY FROM ANYONE.fordnation DONTSUPPORTFORD
Isn’t there a limit on how much taxpayer money the Ford government can spend on fighting judgments against them?
breakingontario there fixed it
J
fordnation you will not spend our tax dollars on your corporate greedy agenda. You continue to forget that you represent us. Accept this courts ruling the people do not support your actions.
fordnation SHAME ON YOU AND YOUR PARTY!
Ruh roh
If our so called premier prefers communism, he should move to another country!!
Bill struck down? GREAT! Now staff nurses in public hospitals can bargain for wage increases and better work-life balance. Private agencies that were exempt from Bill 124, paying agency nurses 3X what staff nurses are paid, will be less able to drain hospitals/the public purse.
What a useless ruling. They should have done this earlier. The law came in 2019 and would last 3 yrs......u do the math...
Every decision fordnation makes is wrong, and usually abhorrent too.
TITLE SHOULD BE DOUG FOR INSISTS HE WILL FIGHT AND LOSE AND MAKE A FOOL OF HIMSELF AGAIN
Damning, you’ve been lied the whole time, there’s a lot more if we bring more cases to court as the government is bound to give the actual truth under oath
Of course fordnation is going to try and appeal something that goes against the charter. He's to busy giving him and his buddy's all the money and he wants the public school and health care systems to collapse so he can privatize everything. Guys a joke
fordnation AS AN ONTARIO TAXPAYER I DO NOT SUPPORT THE SPENDING OF MY TAX MONEY TOWARDS YOUR EGO! THIS IS NOT RIGHT! PUT YOUR G.D. MONEY THAT YOU WILL BE USING TO FIGHT THIS POSITIVE OUTCOME BACK INTO WHAT ONTARIO NEEDS - PAY FOR PUBLIC SERVICES. YOU ARE THE WORST GOV'T EVER!
Of course they will
fordnation 🤡🤡🤡
DougFord stands in opposition to the public demand and the legal system in Canada
Ffs people, you gta vote!
Ya friggen hoo! Capping wages results in capping efforts! People always deserved to be paid a fair wage for the work completed Dougie!
I guess you have to be in Ford's caucus to get a raise! 16k for them and screw other public sector employees.
Such a douchbag...
Aww the mega corporations can't get another yacht for Xmas lol
It’s not his money paying the lawyers. DougFraud
Fordnation continues to waste Taxpayer money. Stop the Gravy Train!!!
