SCARBOROUGH – NDP Leader Andrea Horwath will restore the respect that essential workers were denied under four years of Doug Ford’s government, starting with scrapping Ford’s low-wage policy, Bill 124.
On Friday, Horwath and NDP candidates hosted an appreciation brunch for frontline workers in Scarborough to reaffirm the party’s commitment to stop the cuts — and replace them with hope. After that, Horwath is headed to Flamborough-Glanbrook to talk about respect for teachers and education workers.
“Ontario’s essential workers are burnt-out, underpaid and being disrespected. They need and deserve better working conditions and better pay. They deserve respect,” said Horwath.
“We know who we’re in it for. Who we’re fighting for, and standing with. Before, during and after an election — we’re here for working folks, unions and everyday people.”
Horwath and the NDP are committed to:
“Doug Ford has proven he’s no friend to workers,” said Horwath. “Over the last four years, Doug Ford and his Conservatives have made devastating cuts. They’ve made it their mission to keep wages low, in both the public sector and the private sector. Time and again, they keep choosing to make life harder for folks, not better.
“And together, on June 2, we can turn that around.”
