This #BlackHistoryMonth, Canada’s unions are calling for an end to environmental racism. Black communities face high exposure to pollution and climate change is making it worse. Add your voice and sign the letter. Climate justice is racial justice. canadianlabour.ca/campaigns/…
Violence and Harassment should never be “just part of the job”. Everyone deserves to be safe at work.

Today, we remember the 14 women murdered at Montréal’s École Polytechnique on December 6, 1989, targeted simply because they were women. We honour their memory and the countless women, girls, and gender-diverse people who have experienced violence in their homes, workplaces, and communities.

Violence in any form is never acceptable. Together, we must educate and take action to end all gender-based violence.
Make a start online with the UN's “UNiTE to End Digital Violence against All Women and Girls” because there is #NoExcuse for online abuse!

It's here!
Read the full #RightsDontRetire report now. It details why the #WSIB's arbitrary age 65 cut-off is out of touch with labour market realities and hurts all injured workers.

We trust Ontario’s water because it’s public. It’s safe. It’s affordable.
And it’s accountable to the people — not to profit.
But Bills 60, 56, and 68 threaten to change that.
So CUPE Ontario has joined forces with the Council of Canadians, the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE), ACORN Ontario, and Nature Ontario to launch the Keep Water Public coalition.
We’re standing up for Ontario’s water — and we need you with us.
