"Yes to $14/hr, No to Hudak": the fight to raise the minimum wage and rebuild unions

Ontario Tory leader Tim Hudak's "million jobs plan" is based on driving down wages by attacking unions and introducing "right to work" legislation. The Ontario Liberals went after teachers last year, and this year have only proposed a minimum increase in the minimum wage under pressure from mobilizations. Meanwhile the Ontario NDP is silent on the threat of "right to work" and the demand for a $14/hr minimum wage.

What can we learn from the US, where fast food and retail workers have fought for a $15/hr minimum wage and unionization, and where Seattle city councilor Kshama Sawant won a historic election by giving voice to this campaign? How can we build the movement in Ontario for a $14/hr minimum wage, alongside rebuilding unions to confront "right-to-work"?
