The second day of the Justice Conference 2024 was dedicated entirely to knowledge and skills building. Delegates spent the day attending workshops designed to equip them with various skills to address the challenges they face in their workplaces and communities.

✅FACT: Private providers may charge more than government funding, resulting in patients covering the difference.
Additionally, the introduction of private providers could lead to upselling of services not covered by the public system.

✅FACT: Quality of health care depends on several factors such as worker qualifications, availability of resources, & implementation of quality control measures.
No definitive evidence supports private health care as inherently better.

✅FACT: There is no evidence to support the claim that private health care leads to faster access to medical services.
In fact, the introduction of private clinics could lead to longer wait times.

The size of your wallet should not determine the quality of care you receive.
Ford's push for private, for-profit clinics isn't helping Ontario's health care crisis, it's only making it worse.
Let's break down some common myths surrounding health care privatization👇

Right now, in Ontario, an average of one worker per week is killed on the job. We’re stopping the clock on this year’s #DayOfMourning to say: 'enough is enough'.

Hey @rogers, is your ad agency broken? Why else would you be fine making union busting ads?!
Have you tried turning @SidLee off then on again?
Try upgrading your service to an agency that doesn't lockout #ACTRA union performers.

I am boycottting these union busting brands until they instruct their ad agencies to bargain fairly with ACTRA performers who have been locked out for nearly a year. nwmd.io/s/twitter/ZxE8BTnEHP…

So let me get this straight: The Ontario government is making tuition free for police officers…but isn’t making tuition free for nurses, mental health workers or social workers?
It’s a question of priorities.

To this day, Canada still has no laws to prevent human rights abuses in Canadian supply chains.
➡️ Sign our petition to call on Canada to pass a law requiring 🇨🇦 companies to respect human rights throughout their supply chains:

Tom Conway @steelworkers Int President on the green revolution & decarbonisation -
We must find a way to wean off fossil fuels that doesn’t throw ppl out of jobs. Investment in clean energy has created a climate of organising that USW will focus intensively on over next decade
Honour to be at the @SteelworkersCA national policy conference. Fantastic interventions from Canadian Director @MartyWarrenUSW & @steelworkers International President Tom Conway on decarbonisation, union jobs, organising & the need to stay strong & focused.
