efforts across the province. The financial support for the campaign that is rolling in from affiliates is a reflection of the collective commitment to the campaign and the OFL is currently working with affiliates to book off labour activists in every region. With the initial report of the Changing Workplaces Review expected at the end of May, and final recommendations promised for late fall, the window for action is very tight. The OFL swung support in behind the “Fight for $15 and Fairness” Day of Action on April 15 to generate media attention and put polticians on notice about the growing movement to demand decent work in Ontario. Over the last week of April, labour activists will be following up this grassroots activism with an intensive lobby week directed primarily at Liberal Members of Provincial Parliament. Throughout the month of May, the OFL, CLC and regional labour councils will be hosting “all presidents meetings” in each target region to strengthen support for the campaign and lay the groundwork for greater unity at the labour council level. Once the Local Organizing Hubs are fully set up, wtih regional organizers assigned to each, the campaign will call on members to attend regional assemblies in June, with an eye to engaging members in locally-driven campaign planning for tactical riding-based actions throughout the summer. After Labour Day, the campaign will kick into high gear and we will tap into the deep lists of supporters that are built up over the summer months. 16 LOCAL ORGANIZING HUBS • Durham • Guelph • Hamilton • Kingston • London • Niagara • North Bay • Oakville • Ottawa • Peel • Peterborough • Sudbury • Thunder Bay • Toronto • Kitchener-Waterloo • Windsor OFL ACTION REPORT 5
