<P><STRONG>Solidarity Rally for Striking University Workers:
Sat. Mar. 21 at 1:00 pm</STRONG></P>
<P>Accessible, quality post-secondary education is under
attack. Ontario has the highest tuition fees, highest student
debt, largest class sizes and the worst per-student funding.
Graduate and teaching assistants are fighting against
provincial funding shortfalls that are being passed on to
university students and workers.</P>
<P>Join a Solidarity Rally for CUPE 3902 (U of T) and 3903
(York U) on Saturday, March 21 at Dundas Square at 1:00 pm,
followed by a march to Queen’s Park.</P>
<P>Ask your union or organization to endorse, donate and
mobilize for the rally.</P>

<P><STRONG>Save the Date: Toronto Rally for a $15 minimum
wage, April 15</STRONG></P>
<P>As a movement sweeps American cites for a $15 minimum wage,
Ontario has launched a provincial review of Employment
Standards and Labour Law. The OFL will be teaming up with SEIU
and the Campaign to Raise the Minimum Wage to hold a rally in
solidarity with the “Fight for 15” campaign in the U.S.A.,
while also bringing the demand for elevated employment
standards and labour law reform to the doorstep of the
Ministry of Labour. Keep your calendar open on April 15 and
