The City of Toronto has a chance to ensure crossing guards are treated well and paid fairly. Tell city councilors that crossing guard jobs should be good union jobs.
When CUPE organizers started working with Carraway – the other major company bidding – management did everything they could to undermine worker power. They didn’t want their workers to unionize because they didn’t want to have to have to treat them fairly.
The city is deciding between two options: one company respects its workers and pays them fairly; the other keeps their workers precariously employed and underpaid.
Tell the city to live up to their promise to be a fair employer and make the just choice.
