Despite the chronic underfunding of Ontario's public services and post-secondary education system, the provincial government is now proposing a wage freeze for all public sector employees. This will only deepen the current crisis.
STUDENTS & WORKERS SHOULD BE EQUALLY CONCERNED
- students are workers and are already under paid
- fewer instructors and larger class sizes mean less support for students
- quality affects both students and workers
- 1.3 million Ontarians are living in poverty
- cuts and restructuring have decreased access to education, hospitals, childcare and community services.
WHEN WE CUT FUNDING WE SPREAD INEQUITY!
A wage freeze directly impacts our ability to pay student fees and pay off student debt.
