I grew up on the picket line, as well as in the fields around my home in Windsor, Ontario. My parents instilled the importance of solidarity to make the voices of workers heard, AND they instilled the importance of protecting our natural heritage. I believe we don't have to choose jobs and economic well-being over the very planet that gives us life. I thank the London and District Labour Council for their endorsement. I am honoured to have this support and I will continue to work for the rights and well-being of workers and the planet.
Honoured to be endorsed by the London and District Labour Council again this campaign. Now more than ever we need a strong labour movement that protects workers. We've seen a growing disparity between ultra rich and working poor, a deteriorating social contract and devastating job losses that only benefit multinational corporations. This can be stopped - but only through collective organizing. ✊
I believe that when workers are compensated fairly, provided meaningful opportunities, have a good work environment and maintain a healthy work / life balance, they are more productive, healthier and happier. It just makes sense.
In 2023, while serving as a board member on the Middlesex London Health Unit, I moved a motion to have the MLHU become a Living Wage employer. It was approved and the MLHU became a Living Wage employer and has remained one since. I look forward to seeing more public institutions become Living Wage certified - as people who work full time in this city should be able to afford to live here too.
