Last week, Local 79 members laced up and took to the court at the 5th Annual Steelworkers Basketball Classic alongside members from unions across the province.

This year’s proceeds support the Steelworkers Humanity Fund and its work sending life-saving medical supplies to Cuba through Containers 4 Cuba.

Toronto is Canada’s most unequal city.

With a Gini coefficient of 0.407, Toronto has the widest income gap of any major Canadian city measured by Statistics Canada — sitting well above the national average of 0.353, and far ahead of cities like Montréal (0.343), Halifax (0.331), and Québec City (0.293). Vancouver is the only city that comes close, at 0.385.

This is the city we work in. The city we live in. The city we keep running every single day.

On May 22nd and 23rd, workers from across the city are coming together at the Toronto Workers Summit to change that. We’ll be developing a shared vision for the city — and building an organizing plan to hold mayoral and council candidates accountable in the upcoming municipal election.

Something big is in the works.

On May 22nd and 23rd, workers from across Toronto will come together for the first ever Toronto Workers Summit — a gathering to build a shared vision for our city and demand that mayoral and council candidates commit to what workers and the communities we serve actually need.

From shelter workers to children’s services, from museum staff to public health — Toronto’s workers are organizing, and we’re just getting started.

Stay tuned.

Municipal workers in Montréal are standing up for a fair deal, and Local 79 stands with them.

We showed up on the picket line with our siblings at CUPE 301 (Syndicat des cols bleus regroupés de Montréal), who are on strike demanding wages that keep pace with the cost of living. An 11% raise over five years isn’t good enough — not in this economy.

Solidarity doesn’t stop at city limits.

This morning, Local 79 members marched alongside Grassy Narrows First Nation to demand that Premier Ford deliver on mercury justice. For over 60 years, the people of Grassy Narrows have been living with the devastating effects of industrial mercury poisoning — and they’re still waiting for the justice they deserve. Solidarity! @grassy.narrows.solidarity

We have already reached an agreement with Sinai Health on across-the-board wage increases for Hennick Bridgepoint Hospital workers, but instead of finalizing a fair deal, Sinai Health is stalling and delaying the retroactive pay workers are owed.

On Thursday, March 26, workers will rally at Hubbard Park at 12 noon (across from the Hostpial) to demand that Sinai Health stop the delays, settle wages, and pay the retro that’s owed.

Join us in solidarity!

Workers with an 11 a.m. lunch break can still participate. A practice picket will take place at that time to ensure as many people as possible can take part.
