CUPE Presser: Reinstate Paramedic Katherine Grzejszczak

Paramedic and CUPE Ontario executive board member Katherine Grzejszczak fights for reinstatement to her job. She was fired by York Region for an anti-war comment she made on Facebook.

The state of Israel is intensifying the genocide and forced displacement of Palestinians. Despite the Canadian government making condemning statements they continue to send military goods and maintain normal relations with Israel. As workers we must be able to speak freely to organize an end to this horror. We refuse to be silenced and will continue supporting each other.
