Tell Doug Ford: stand up for public safety!

September 22, 2022/in Did you know?/by Tracy Cochrane

Public safety is a provincial responsibility, but how safe is Ontario as the premier lets public safety inspectors  languish on strike?

We’re proud of the work we do as TSSA inspectors. All we want is a fair contract – it’s what everyone should have as we celebrate Labour Day.

But Doug Ford is making that impossible for us.

If you agree that people deserve respect at work, union standards, and fair treatment – send an email right now to the Premier to get it done! Get it done!
