There is a Provincial Election coming up.

Fraser decision “troubling” according to lead counsel for UFCW Canada at Canadian Foundation for Labour Rights Forum UFCW Canada - Canada’s Largest Private Sector Union

“The decision essentially said the AEPA is constitutional so if you don't like it go change the government and change the law, which is somewhat ironic because many agriculture workers are migrant and temporary foreign workers who do not have Canadian voting rights. That said, we have an Ontario election coming up and as trade unionists I can assure you that we will be using every tool available to us to make farm worker rights an important election issue."
