Largest. Coordinated. Day of action. In a decade. In support of workers' rights in Ontario.
That's what we are getting ready to organize on Monday, October 15.

On Monday, we will be mobilizing in all corners of Ontario to defend the new workplace laws we won last year, including the $15 minimum wage that is scheduled for January 1. This Day of Action is crucial to convince the Doug Ford Government to put our need for decent work ahead of corporate interests.

We are expecting over 50 events to take place on the October 15 Day of Action that we are organizing together with the Ontario Federation of Labour. That means doubling the 20+ actions we held on September 15, when we collectively pulled off the largest provincial day of mobilization since the Ontario election in June. Clearly, the momentum is with the 66% of Ontarians who want and support $15 & Fairness.
Will you join us on October 15?
Right now Big Business lobbyists are using every trick in the book to pressure the government into fully repealing our new labour laws. Let's not forget, when the Chamber of Commerce campaigns against Bill 148, they are literally campaigning to make it easier for employers to fire workers whose childcare has fallen through, who decline a last-minute shift, or who stay home sick when they have the flu (click here to read more about what's at stake).
We cannot let the corporate pressure roll back the most basic protections we won through grassroots organizing. Hands off job-protected emergency leave, paid sick days, equal pay for equal work! Despite chatter, the government hasn't moved yet to cancel the new labour laws, which means $15 is less than 12 weeks away.
Please join us on Monday by speaking out for $15 & Fairness. In addition to the events listed below, actions will also be happening in 24 Ontario Colleges.
If you can't come in person, please take action online! Send an email to Premier Doug Ford and your local MPP by clicking here and ask your friends to do the same! Please use the hashtag #15andFairness to spread the word about the Day of Action on social media, and show your support!
