KINGSTON, Ontario, April 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Under the Doug Ford government, there is a lot at stake for Ontarians. Labour and community allies must be at the forefront of the Ford resistance, says the Ontario Federation of Labour.
On Tuesday, April 2, the Ontario Federation of Labour and the Kingston and District Labour Council are hosting a Regional Activation Meeting in Kingston. We are inviting all labour and community activists and leaders across the Kingston Region.
“When labour and community work together we bring the power of many to the table, and we win,” said Ontario Federation of Labour President Chris Buckley. “We have put this government on notice. The people of Ontario will not let them dismantle public services like health care and education for all, decent work, or safe and healthy communities. We are the power of many, a unified movement for change.”
