This is a party that stood beside Labour in the fight for $15 and Fairness, and it is the only party that truly holds Kathleen Wynne\u2019s Liberals to account. Certainly the Conservatives are not an option; we only need to remember our last election cycle, when the Ontario Conservatives promised to gut Labour law in Ontario and bring in a US-style Right-To-Work legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why I am urging our members to support the Party that makes the most sense for Ontario workers, and start building a social structure in this Province that benefits working families. As you are likely aware, direct contributions from organizations are prohibited in Ontario; only individual contributions from residents are allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IAM has partnered with the Ontario NDP in their fundraising efforts, and we are providing IAM members an opportunity to support the Party financially. Election campaigns require a great deal of hard work, and the funding to carry out our mandate. We are asking you to consider supporting the Party that supports workers. All contributions are tax-deductible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please click the link below for more information, and for your opportunity to make a contribution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ontariondp.ca\/iamaw\">www.ontariondp.ca\/iamaw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ontariondp.ca\/aimta\">www.ontariondp.ca\/aimta<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s make a change in Ontario, and get out and win this election!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stan Pickthall<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>General Vice-President<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sisters and Brothers: We are heading into a major election this year in Ontario.
