Solidarity to our @djnontario comrades!
Good news from #HamOnt, we’ve unionized at the @djnontario!
It’s important to our staff that we protect one another, sustain our work, and ensure that care and justice aren’t just metaphors, but practices that shape how we show up for this labour of love. 💜🫰🏾💛 @hamiltonlabour

🚨Attention All Workers: Stand Up to Unfair Canada!🚨
Where: Rally at MP Rechie Valdez’s Office – 8B Maiden Lane, Mississauga
When: Tuesday, August 19 from 12 PM
@AirCanada and the @liberal_party government have teamed up to trample workers’ rights. By using Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code, they attacked the rights of flight attendants and all workers to bargain freely and fairly.
Join Air Canada Component of @cupenat workers and allies from across the country to demand:
- Air Canada back to the table
- Fair pay for flight attendants
- Protection of free collective bargaining
HDLC retweeted
No surprises here - Canadians know what's fair. Not to mention the flight attendants of CUPE's Air Canada Component are waging an **incredibly** effective bargaining campaign against an unreasonable employer @AirCanada #UnpaidWorkWontFly
🚨 New poll for flight attendants represented by
@cupenat – Canadians are decisively with the flight attendants in their dispute with Air Canada.
✅ 9 in 10 say pay should cover all duties
✅ 2 in 3 say AC can afford more
✅ Majority oppose gov’t forcing them back to work

Canadian Labour finding its voice on Palestine - important piece in @springmagca about recent statements from @cupenat @OFLabour @CanadianLabour @UniforTheUnion @cupw @NUPGE calling for #ceasefire in Gaza & justice for Palestinians
The Canadian Labour Congress statement is important because it makes clear that Palestinians have an inalienable right to a state and that Canadian workers have tools at their disposal to further that reality.
