Aislinn Clancy, Ontario Greens Deputy Leader, hailed the recent court of appeal ruling that declared Bill 124 unconstitutional as a significant triumph for workers and the labor movement. The bill had imposed wage caps and restricted fair bargaining rights for public sector employees, exacerbating challenges in healthcare and education amid rising living costs. Clancy urges the Ford government to repeal the bill and commit to equitable negotiations with public sector workers, emphasizing the need to restore public services and address ongoing labor shortages.
