Workers deserve respect.
Workers deserve a voice.
Workers deserve the right to strike.

Proud to stand with @cupescfp.bsky.social workers and @ndp.ca caucus members today in support of Bill C-247, to remove Section 107 from the Canada Labour Code once and for all. #canlab

The photographer couldn’t be bothered to tell me the flag was backwards, the wind was ungodly, and there’s no picture where we all look good BUT we were out rallying for our @cupwsttp.bsky.social workers in Charlottetown! @cupescfp.bsky.social PEI and the Federation of Labour were proud to stand

URGENT! Members from PSI unions Forsa and CGIL on board the Global Sumud Flotilla are currently under attack: they face illegal abduction by the Israeli military in international waters.

CGIL has announced a General Strike for Gaza this Friday in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

The Global Sumud Flotilla, carrying health workers, trade unionists and medical supplies to Gaza, faces the threat of attack by the Israeli military.

The global labour movement is monitoring the situation and will stand against any aggression.

What a day in Vancouver, meeting so many folks face to face, standing shoulder to shoulder, and taking the mic to say what millions are feeling: Carney and the billionaires, enough is enough. We’re drawing the line for people, for peace, for the planet. #DrawtheLine
