Ontario Day of Action Against Cuts
April 21, 2012
The province continues to hand out billions of dollars in corporate tax cuts through the front door while public and private sector jobs are disappearing through the back door. The Ontario government is preparing to table a slash-and-burn budget in late March or early April that will be guided by the hundreds of cuts that former TD Bank Economist Don Drummond is expected to propose later this month.
Take these extra steps to help make the Day of Action against cuts a success:
* Pass an emergency motion at your meeting to support the April 21 Day of Action;
* Appoint a staff member too coordinate the mobilization of your union, labour council or organization;
* Outreach to community allies, in particular any local Occupy Activists, to connect our issues in fight for equity and social justice;
* Bring your own signs, banners and union flags to show support; and
* Secure funding from your union, labour council or organization for buses from your community.
Labour Councils should approach affiliates for support in funding buses to Toronto. However, in circumstances where financial resources are lacking, the OFL can be approached to provide financial support. However, all subsidized buses must be filled!
Questions about mobilizing and logistics should be directed to: Laurie Hardwick, Director of Organization Services 416-571-3087 or lhardwick@ofl.ca
Buses should be registered with the OFL: Carrol Anne Sceviour (416) 443-7670 or csceviour@ofl.ca
