Happy Labour Day from Stratford & District Labour Council!
To celebrate the weekend, we were delighted to have been able to sponsor a free community swim yesterday at Lions Pool. Thanks to everyone who came out and to those who made donations which we’ll give to area food banks.

The Stratford & District Labour Council would like to invite you to join us for a Day of Mourning ceremony on April 28 at 10:30am at Upper Queens Park.
On April 28. Remember. Mourn for the Dead. Fight for the Living. More than a slogan. #MakeWorkSafe. More than a hashtag.

And of course this is one of the HUGE concerns at play here, why the entire labour movement is behind CUPE.
If governments decide to use notwithstanding clause as simply a collective bargaining hammer, then we are basically no longer a real democracy. Govt just imposes contracts
