Pitch in to support a great cause against totalitarianism in Ontario. Support workers' rights to be recognized as a union.

Part-time workers in Ontario's Community College system are prohibited by law from organizing a union in their workplaces. The International Labour Organization has determined that this is contrary to the international agreements Canada has signed which guarantee workers the right to form a union.

These workers have created their own association and are working to change the law. You can help by taking 30 seconds to send a message to the Ontario government (a copy goes to the workers), urging them to grant part-time college workers the same rights as most other Canadian workers. Go to:
