The Ford government is rushing through the biggest roll back in workers' rights in a generation. They don't want to hear all the voices in favour of fair wages, paid sick days or equal pay. They want to ignore the fact that the majority of Ontarians support decent work. But that doesn't mean we won't be heard.
Conservative MPP for Ottawa West Nepean, Jeremy Roberts, who refused to accept petitions opposing Bill 47 from hundreds of his constituents, has said he will vote in favour of his government's attacks on workers. He sits on the committee that will be debating Bill 47 on November 15th.
Join us for the People's Hearings in front of MPP Roberts' riding office to show him and his government that the people oppose Bill 47. Share your story, hear from other workers who about why Bill 47 is bad for our communities, and help us send a clear message to this Conservative government: Hands Off Workers' Rights! Withdraw Bill 47! $15 and Fairness Now!
