A Message from Smokey Thomas

Dear friends, 

OPSEU members know that Premier Dalton McGuinty's wage freeze isn't a "freeze" at all -- it's really a cut in pay equal to the rate of inflation. But not many members have actually sat down to figure out how much the freeze will cost them and their families.

Now, with our new online wage loss calculator, it's easy. Please visit www.stopthewagefreeze.ca. You'll find information on how much you'll pay and where your money is really going. Once you know how much you'll lose, you can send the result in an e-mail to your MPP. Just type in your postal code and hit "send."

The Annual General Meeting of the Ontario Liberal Party happens this weekend. The time is now to send a strong message to Dalton McGuinty that his unfair wage freeze is just plain wrong.

In solidarity,

Warren (Smokey) Thomas
President, Ontario Public Service Employees Union
