Tim Hortons Petition for $15 for Fairness; Upcoming TVOT Health and Wellness PD Event at the BMO Centre;

Welcome back and Happy 2018 to all!  

Tim Hortons and the $15 for Fairness Campaign:
To Protest Tim Horton's franchises that are penalizing their workers for the new minimum wage increase, please consider the following -

1. Sign the petition. Once you've signed it, ask 3 of your friends to do the same.

2. Join an emergency action happening near you today! (Wednesday). In over 15 communities across Ontario, we will organize joint actions together with the Fight for $15 and Fairness (see media advisory) in support of Tim Hortons workers. Scroll down for details about the leaflet.

3. Spread the word. If you or someone you know has a problem at work or is dealing with a bad boss, they can call 1-855-531-0778. This is a toll-free, province-wide hotline operated by the Workers' Action Centre.
