TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 26, 2016) - 1200 CUPE Ontario members will take to the streets Friday at noon with a clear message for Premier Wynne and her government's friends on Bay Street: Your fiscally irresponsible privatization plans will hurt the people of our province and they must be stopped.
"Our members work on the frontlines in every community across Ontario. We see the direct fallout from bad government policies," says CUPE Ontario president, Fred Hahn. "We feel a strong obligation to protect the people of Ontario. We're building a movement to take back what's ours and stop the Premier from funneling our tax dollars to corporate profits rather than investing them in our communities."
"People across this province are struggling and we need to turn things around," says Candace Rennick, Secretary Treasurer of CUPE Ontario. "We must stop Premier Wynne from giving our power over to an elite few."
| When: Friday, May 27th at noon | |
| Where: Beginning at the corner of Bay St. and Queen St. W heading south on Bay St. to Scotia Bank Plaza |
