There is an ongoing crisis in our publicly-funded schools in Toronto, and across the province.

Last January, the Toronto & York Region Labour Council declared that 2023 would be the year of the union. Twelve months later, it could not be more clear: we were right. In 2023, workers set the new standard for what a fighting, militant labour movement can look like. In particular, strike activity was higher in 2023 than it has been so far this century. The strike is back.

The Toronto & York Region Labour Council is speaking out to oppose the rapidly escalating violence in Israel-Palestine, and joining the call for an immediate ceasefire, aid to Gaza, and an end to the blockade.
