Be sure to pick up a copy of the September 3, 2015 edition of the Toronto Star to find a special Labour Day supplement on unions. The forward and front page ad for this unique section were donated to the OFL to promote a Labour Day message on behalf of Ontario’s workers.
The special section is called “Report On Labour: How Unions Are Lifting The Living Standards for Every Worker” and was delivered in all 250,000 copies of today’s Toronto Star newspaper to homes, businesses, coffee shops, corner stores and curbside boxes. It is one of the powerful ways the OFL and its affiliates are bringing our message directly to the public.
The op-ed from President Sid Ryan is directly inspired by the CLC’s “Time for Change” campaign and calls on union members to join forces with precarious workers, retirees and community members to build a new kind of movement and fight for the change we want.
“Positive change cannot start until we elect a government that will listen to voters, promote equity and foster an economy that provides opportunities for everyone,” said Ryan. “For those who aspire to a better Canada, the NDP are clearly the better choice.”
This supplement also features special articles and advertisements from CUPE, OECTA, OSSTF, Power Workers’ Union, SEIU Healthcare, UA Canada and United Steelworkers.
