On September 4, join the Worth Fighting For campaign rally and march for workers in the community and social services.
Workers in community and social services – working as social workers, child therapists, addictions counsellors, shelter workers, legal aid staff, and many other roles – are some of the lowest paid workers in the public sector.
Ford’s Bill 124 capped public sector workers’ wage increases at 1% at a time of skyrocketing inflation, forcing workers to turn to food banks, moonlight in second jobs, and rack up debt. While the legislation was struck down in 2022, many workers have been left out – including workers in community and social services.
OPSEU/SEFPO and CUPE Ontario members are fighting back. We’re demanding fair pay for workers and funding for the services that kids, families and communities rely on.
Join the rally on September 4 – because jobs, services and communities are Worth Fighting For. All are welcome!
