See you there!

With all of Ontario's education unions currently in bargaining with the Ford government, we need to show how much we support education workers and teachers. Our next generations deserve well-funded schools that support them.
This is London's 6th monthly Fight Ford Rally!
August 29th - 1pm

WEEK 13 OF BEING LOCKED OUT AND WERE STILL STANDING! STILL FIGHTING! 💙

August is here. The summer keeps moving. The days keep passing. But for Local 172 one thing hasn't changed:

WE ARE STILL STANDING!! ✊

Week 13 of being locked out is a reminder that this fight has never been just about a paycheque. It’s about being valued for the essential work we do, protecting the services our communities depend on, and demanding the respect that workers deserve!

Thirteen weeks of showing up!
Thirteen weeks of solidarity!
Thirteen weeks of choosing each other!
And we’re not done!!!!

Local 172 members have stood together through the heat, the rain, the long days and the hard days. We've supported other locals, connected with our community, and continued taking the Worth Fighting For message beyond our picket line!!

August may be a month for vacations and summer fun but there is no summer break when it comes to fighting for our future!!!!!

We are tired.
We are determined.
We are united.
And we are WORTH FIGHTING FOR!!

13 weeks down. Still standing. Still united. Still fighting. 💙💙

Solidarity with OPSEU/SEFPO Local 172 in Ingersoll:

Week #10
By now, people know why we're here.

This isn't about giving up, it's about refusing to give in.

Every day on this line is another reminder that the people we support deserve stability, and the people who provide that support deserve to earn a living doing the work they love.

We're still showing up.
We're still standing together.
And we're still fighting for what's right.

Because some things are simply Worth Fighting For. 💙✊
