Hello folks! There is a Town Hall and Social at Plan B Beer Works to create a dialogue around organizing, both on and off campus, for fairer workplaces, stronger protections for workers, and a $15 minimum wage. There will be speakers from the provincial $15 & Fairness campaign, Brock University, and other community organizations. Speakers will be featured from such organizations as:

  • UNIFOR

  • Department of Labour Studies, Brock University

  • OPIRG Brock

  • Niagara Regional Labour Council

  • Provincial $15 & Fairness campaign

In response to our growing movement for $15 & Fairness, the Ontario Government tabled Bill 148 (The Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act) which, if enacted, would deliver a $15 minimum wage and other much-needed improvements in our labour law. Unfortunately, big business lobbyists are opposing this legislation and are launching a multi-million dollar campaign to stop these improvements in wages and working conditions. That's why we must re-double our efforts to solidify these gains, spread the word and push to ensure $15 & Fairness for everyone.

Please RSVP so we know how many snacks to provide! And please share this event with others who may want to get involved. Facebook : RSVP.

The work of OPIRG Brock primarily takes place on the traditional lands of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, Wendat, and Chonnonton people and home to many Indigenous people from First Nations from across Turtle Island, Metis, and Inuit people. A key treaty governing this territory is the “Dish with One Spoon” agreement. This treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee binds them to share the territory and protect the land. Subsequent Indigenous nations and peoples, settlers and all newcomers, have been invited into this treaty in the spirit of peace, friendship and respect.
