Members of CUPE Local 79’s Indigenous Committee joined the Moose Hide Campaign gathering at Queen’s Park today, alongside fellow members who came out in solidarity. The Moose Hide Campaign calls on men and boys to take a stand against gender-based violence.

In 2020, 1 in 4 Toronto residents said their household income wasn’t enough to get by. By 2024, that number had climbed to 2 in 5.

The nine-point jump between 2023 and 2024 alone is larger than the entire increase over the previous three years. More and more Torontonians are working, paying rent, raising families, and still coming up short at the end of the month.

This is the city Local 79 members show up for every single day — delivering the public services that fill the gaps when the cost of living outpaces people’s ability to keep up. We see this reality up close. We live it too.

On May 22nd and 23rd, workers from across the city are coming together at the Toronto Workers Summit to find solutions on how to address the affordability crisis.

Local 79 members were proud to join @cupelocal2 today for their picket sign party. These are the electricians, technicians, and linespersons whose work powers the TTC every single day, and they deserve a contract that reflects it. The @takethettc has had every opportunity to bargain fairly — Local 2 has been ready. We stand with them until they get what they’ve earned.

Keeping Toronto at its best is what gets us up every morning. The work is worth it. And so are we.
