CORRECTION FROM SOURCE/ADVISORY: OFL to join picket line with striking workers at U of T

(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 03/04/15 -- This document corrects and replaces the release sent on March 4th 2015 at 2:42PM ET. The time of the event has changed to 9:30 a.m.

On Thursday, March 5, 2015, the Ontario Federation of Labour President Sid Ryan, along with student, labour and community supporters, will join striking educational workers at the University of Toronto on the picket lines to demand a fair contract from the University.

"This strike has exposed the ugly truth that a prestigious institution, like the University of Toronto, has premised its entire operation on the exploitation of precarious workers," said OFL President, Sid Ryan. "In refusing to allow government cuts to higher education to be downloaded onto educational workers and students, CUPE 3902 is at the forefront of the fight against austerity and is defending public post-secondary education."

CUPE 3902, representing educational workers at the University of Toronto, went on strike last week to secure a contract that promotes the best possible learning conditions for students and fair working conditions for workers.

The Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) represents 54 unions and one million workers in Ontario. For information, visit and follow the OFL on Facebook and Twitter: .
