We just learned that Bill 47 will go for a final vote at the provincial legislature on Tuesday afternoon. This dangerous law will cut the minimum wage and postpone $15 for seven years, eliminate paid sick days, reduce UNPAID sick leave, as well as roll back most of our new labour rights.
Help us pack the Queen`s Park Gallery to witness the vote, and remind every Member of Provincial Parliament that we will hold them to account for taking away these modest protections from millions of workers.
We expect the Members of Provincial Parliament to debate Bill 47 one last time (between 3:00 pm and 4:30 pm on Tuesday) before voting on it as early as 5:00 pm. *** Ford government has the power to change the timing of the debate at the last minute to avoid public scrutiny while they vote on Bill 47 (and throw millions of workers under the bus), please RSVP so we can keep you informed ***
WHEN: Come to Queen`s Park as early as you can from 3:00 PM onward, please give yourself 30 minutes to go through security
IMPORTANT: Bring a government issued photo ID to be able to go through security, and meet us at the Queen`s Park cafeteria in the basement.
