ICS Facilities want to lower standards for cleaners in Toronto, but we won’t let them.
10k of our colleagues across major cities already won better wages & benefits, and safer & more reasonable workloads. There is no excuse to provide any janitor with anything less.

Cleaners at the University of Winnipeg are the lowest paid workers on campus, so we formed a Union in the Spring of 2025.
As a community, we should expect better for ALL workers at a prestigious institution like the University of Winnipeg. Join our fight!

The struggle for workers’ rights & wage fairness exists within a colonial system that creates hierarchies of power in Canada.
We continue working towards the 94 calls to action, specifically #92, to ensure that Indigenous peoples have equitable access to jobs, training, and education opportunities.
