Henry Bosch, Nigel Moses Latest CUPE NDP Candidates Henry Bosch, Nigel Moses latest CUPE NDP candidates With the successful nominations of Henry Bosch and Nigel Moses, there are now seven CUPE Ontario members running as NDP candidates in the Ontario provincial election on October 10. Bosch, a local paramedic who is vice-president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) 1019, was elected as the NDP candidate in the riding of St. Catharines on August 22. He has been a member of a number of unions, is a past member of the CUPE Ontario Executive Board and has been a member of the St. Catharine’s Transit Commission Board. “I promise to make Queen’s Park accountable for everything that happens in St. Catharines and make sure what St. Catharines gets is what it needs,” Bosch said. In an article on his nomination, the St. Catharines Standard paid tribute to the fact that Bosch ran for mayor of the Garden City and has assisted local councillors on their campaigns. He has also lobbied government on health care issues. On the same evening, Nigel Moses gave a stirring speech and was rewarded with the NDP nomination for the riding of Whitby Oshawa. Moses, who is a member of CUPE 3902 at the University of Toronto, was lauded by CUPE Ontario President and fellow NDP candidate Sid Ryan at the meeting. “Nigel knows the issues that working families face and he’s going to make sure that the values and principles that CUPE members fight for guide his work as the next MPP for Whitby Oshawa.” CUPE Ontario congratulates all CUPE candidates including Henri Giroux (North Bay), John Grima (Essex), Pauline Kuhlmann (Leeds-Grenville), Antoni Shelton (York West); Sid Ryan (Oshawa), Bosch and Moses for running and bringing new energy and members to their respective ridings.

  • Days of Action: Ontario's Extra-Parliamentary Opposition To
    Days of Action: Ontario's extra-parliamentary opposition to the Common Sense Revolution, 1995-1998 By Douglas James Nesbitt A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in History in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada May, 2018 Copyright ã Douglas James Nesbitt, 2018 Abstract From 1995 to 1998, Ontario was the site of a sustained political and industrial conflict between the provincial government of Premier Mike Harris and a loosely- coordinated protest movement of labour unions, community organizations, and activist groups. The struggle was aimed at the defeating the “Common Sense Revolution,” a sweeping neoliberal program advanced by the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario. The program designed to renovate the state, rationalize the social safety net, repeal barriers to capital accumulation, and decisively weaken the strength of organized labour. What became a union-led extra-parliamentary opposition drew in large sections of the population often aligned with a political culture of statist collectivism encompassing both social democracy and “Red Toryism”. The movement emerged at a time when the two major parties aligned with such ideas embraced neoliberal policies. Under the leadership of Mike Harris, the Red Tories were pushed out of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives in the early 1990s. Meanwhile, the one-term New Democratic government of 1990-95 made a decisive turn towards neoliberal austerity amidst a catastrophic recession, declining federal transfers, and employer hostility. Through the union-led “Days of Action” of large political strikes, mass demonstrations, and numerous militant protests, the implementation of the Common Sense Revolution was slowed and weakened and the government’s popularity greatly diminished.

  • James a GIBSON UBRARY BROCK UNIVERSITY Sr
    A Crisis of Social Democracy: Organized Labour and the NDP in an Era ofNeoliberalism by Tim Fowler Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Department of Political Science BROCK UNIVERSITY St. Catharines, Ontario June 2008 JAMEs A GIBSON UBRARY BROCK UNIVERSITY sr. C'.AT,HA.RlNES CN Abstract The NDP was founded out of the ashes of the Co-Operative Commonwealth Federation to cooperate with the Canadian Labour Congress to become the 'political arm of organized labour' in Canada. The NDP has long claimed they are the party which represents the policy goals of organized labour in Canada: that the NDP alone will fight for trade union rights, and will fight for Canadian workers. Divergent Paths is an examination ofthe links between the labour movement and the ND P in an era ofneo-liberalism. Provincial NDP governments have become increasingly neoliberal in their ideological orientation, and have often proved to be no friend to the labour movement when they hold office. The Federal party has never held power, nor have they ever formed the Official Opposition. This thesis charts the progress of the federal NDP as they become more neoliberal from 1988 to 2006, and shows how this trend effects the links between the NDP and labour. Divergent Paths studies each federal election from 1988 to 2006, looking at the interactions between Labour and the NDP during these elections. Elections provide critical junctions to study discourse - party platforms, speeches, and other official documents can be used to examine discourse. Extensive newspaper searches were used to follow campaign events and policy speeches.
