Melt the Freeze, Raise the Minimum Wage!
Ministry of Labour office, 400 University Ave., Toronto

Province-wide day of action

Ontario’s minimum wage has been frozen for 3 years, while the cost of
living continues to rise. Join us as we call for an immediate increase!

The minimum wage should bring workers and their families above the poverty
line. That means Ontario’s minimum wage should be $14 in 2013. A minimum
wage increase is an investment in healthy communities and good jobs for
workers in Ontario.

On March 21st, the first day of spring and the International Day for the
Elimination of Racism, communities around Ontario will be coming together
for a decent minimum wage.

Get involved!
