TORONTO–Unifor will host a virtual news conference to outline budget recommendations, as the union conducts its pre-budget lobby week to advocate for critical priorities for workers.
“Unifor members are meeting with Cabinet Ministers and MPPs to discuss a dual strategy to keep Ontarians protected from COVID-19 while putting programs and infrastructure in place to build a better economy following this crisis,” said Unifor National President Jerry Dias.
“This budget marks either a tipping point or a turning point in Ontario’s economic recovery. Premier Doug Ford’s government has a chance to get it right for the province’s workers, and we’re asking for decisive action to improve the lives of Ontario families,” said Naureen Rizvi, Unifor Ontario Regional Director.
