WATCH: Unifor members are uniting to end intimate partner violence by advocating for stronger protections, raising awareness, and demanding urgent action from governments.

#Unifor’s @lanapayne.bsky.social warns to expect a very bumpy ride in labour relations in 2025 during her conversation with Michael Serapio on PrimeTime Politics @cpac.ca. #canlab #cdnpoli youtu.be/rFWfqunp7Nw?...

Groups have now begun to advocate for a commissioner - an independent office with powere that could help push systemic change. Let’s make this happen - GBV should be an priority for all parties as we look ahead at the next election. nationalmagazine.ca/en-ca/articl...

When the NAP was agreed upon by the federal and provincial governments we received it with cautious optimism but had many questions - mostly about the role of civil society, accountability and independent oversight. The 1st report is out and we still have questions www.canada.ca/en/women-gen...

In absolute awe of the strength and resolve of Gisèle Pelicot. Enough with the shame and stigma associated with being a survivor of rape and any form of GBV. Justice is possible, but we need culture change - in the media, in court systems. Let this case be a turning point www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7415595

"Workers have sent a very clear message that they’re together," says @lanapayne.bsky.social during a visit to Unifor Local 2458's picket lines in Windsor.

Spirits are strong as 120 members at Clear Medical Imaging hold down rock-solid picket lines.

#CanLab

45 Governments (including Canada) have ratified the ILO Convention on Violence and Harassment. That's a great start, but for workers to truly realize the right to work free from violence and harassment, we need governments, employers and unions to work together to implement the convention. #16Days

In 1999, the UN designated 25 Nov as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women in their memory. The day now marks the start of 16 days of activism against gender-based violence.
