have lost 12% of real wages to inflation in 6 years. Management have seen higher pay increases, widening the gap between them and low-wage city workers. Call on the city to negotiate a fair collective agreement: cupe.on.ca/supporttoron...

Majority of Torontonians support investments in City services and fair wages for workers, new poll finds.

This morning, CUPE Local 79 members delivered 8,000+ petitions to Councillor Shelley Carroll at the final Budget Committee meeting.

Workers are calling for fair, inflation-adjusted wages, safe staffing levels & equity for part-time workers.

The 2025 City budget maintains service levels, but addressing a decade of austerity means means we need to invest more in City services. Read our 2025 Budget statement attached.

Despite Toronto’s Board of Health voting in Sept to protect these jobs, the positions of 33 harm reduction workers at The Works will have their positions deleted.
President Nas Yadollahi is calling on the City of Toronto to rescind these notices & redeploy workers. www.thestar.com/news/gta/sta...

On December 6, 1989, 14 young women at Polytechnique Montréal were murdered in an act of violent misogyny that shook our country and led Parliament to designate December 6 as The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.
On December 6, we remember them.

City workers subjected to ‘police-style interrogations’ by ex-cops, CUPE79 alleges The city denies allegations that internal investigators raised their voices, tossed papers and aggressively badgered employees during workplace investigations

We’re raising the alarm over disturbing interrogation tactics used in City of Toronto workplace investigations. Workers have reported being subjected to hours-long interrogations where investigators yelled, tossed papers, and repeatedly questioned in a guilt-presumptive manner.
