Blueprints of Disruption

Ontario Fights Back - Building up to a General Strike


Listen Later

With 55,000 CUPE Education workers walking off the job in defiance of legislation which made any job action illegal, there have been renewed calls for a Provincial wide General Strike. Host Jessa McLean and journalist/producer Santiago Helou Quintero discuss the core issues at stake in Ontario. With the use of the Notwithstanding Clause to override Charter Rights, and the push to destroy public services, this fight has become more than just a demand for fair wages. Premier Ford has started something...but what? And will Labour seize this moment effectively and inclusively? Lots of possibilities to discuss.
