AFL-CIO ✊
@AFLCIO10 Feb 2025
The @NLRB protects workers’ right to form unions in their workplaces. President Trump illegally firing Gwynne Wilcox from the NLRB effectively shuts down their operations. This is bad for working people and good for bosses that want to deny workers’ their right to organize.

Amazon shutting down operations in QC is a gross act of corporate union-busting and an attack on workers fighting for fair pay and safety. It is clear: We need stronger labour laws to stop corporate bullying. cp24.com/video/2025/01/23/am…

Amazon is 'union busting': Canadian Labour Congress president

Canadian Labour Congress president Bea Bruske says Amazon's decision to leave Quebec is 'union busting' and 'corporate greed.'

Cecile Richards dedicated her life to protecting and expanding women’s rights. She never wavered in her commitment to ensuring that women had access to the reproductive health care they needed, and her leadership at Planned Parenthood led to the inclusion of important healthcare provisions in the Affordable Care Act. Women of all ages knew they could count on Cecile, and Michelle and I will always be grateful for her advocacy. We send all our love to Kirk, Lily, Hannah, Daniel, and all those who loved and admired her.

As temperatures drop, too many Nova Scotians are still sleeping outdoors with few options. In addition to providing more & better warming and shelter services in real time, we again call on this government to prioritize the permanent affordable housing options Nova Scotians need.
