“Our members are the ones who implement the programs the WSIB leadership is celebrating today,” said Harry Goslin, President of OCEU/CUPE 1750. “WSIB Leaders should be back at the bargaining table prioritizing the needs of their employees and the injured workers we are here to take care of. Instead of doing what’s right for their employees and workers in Ontario somehow, they have time to come to this conference and pat themselves on the back”

The WSIB management sent Aaron Lazarus, their communications representative to the rally with timbits for the striking workers.

“We don’t want timbits, we want you back at the table,” said Goslin. “If the WSIB wants to be a leader in occupational health and safety, they need to address the workplace hazards in their own shop first,” added Nicole Francis, the unions Chief Steward. “Our members are struggling while the WSIB and Ford government pat themselves on the back for giving $4 billion dollars back to employers. It’s shameful.”

The biosecurity officers' fight against fire ants and allegations of threats, harassment and stalking
A Glen Turner Déjà vu

“We’ve had threats of ‘If you come on my property, I’ll shoot you’. ‘If you try and come on my property, I’ll set my dog on you...Australian police are routinely escorting biosecurity officers onto private properties after they reported being threatened with dogs and guns. In cases when people were “incredibly hostile”, program staff would “proactively engage with the police to escort us and to keep the peace and to keep everyone safe in that environment, because we need to complete the treatment”

The environmental officer Glen Turner
was shot in Croppa Creek, near Moree in 2014 investigating illegal land clearing. "There is an interweaving between the physical murder of Glen Turner, and the ecological ‘murder’ of the brigalow through the voracious demand for agricultural land." Book review: ‘The Winter Road’ by Kate Holden
