That’s why @canadianlabour is launching a series of events across Canada, starting with a Political Action Conference in Toronto, Jan 20-21, 2025. Workers will come together to learn how to organize, mobilize, and help elect awesome pro-worker candidates. #WorkersTogether

As Ford unveils his government's Fall Economic Statement tomorrow, too many families are still stuck waiting for a home they can afford. But it doesn't have to be this way. When I'm Premier, we'll launch Homes Ontario—the largest home-building program in Ontario’s history.

Workers in ON have had enough of @fordnation’s corruption, his attacks on workers, and his cuts to #healthcare & #education. CLC Secretary-Treasurer Lily Chang @Lily4Workers joined workers @OFLabour’s rally to tell the government #EnoughIsEnough! #onlab #onpoli

Pierre Poilievre isn’t serious about fixing the housing crisis – he just wants to give more of your tax dollars to ultra-rich — aka the real estate executives who fund him.

Scab labour is wasteful, harmful, and prolongs strikes and work stoppages. We’re bringing this message to Ottawa as MPs debate the Bill C-58 in #HoC on Monday. It’s high time we ban scab labour once and for all. RT if you agree. #CLCLobby #AntiScab #CDNPoli #CanLab

Conservative MPs are blocking the Sustainable Jobs Act, which gives voice to workers as Canada takes action on climate change. They say they're for workers, but their actions betray their words. Workers don’t need more delays. We need action. #CDNpoli #CanLab #FutureThatWorks

We remember Harper's anti-union bills. And where was Poilievre during that time? At Harper's cabinet table. Let's be clear: a Conservative government led by Pierre Poilievre poses a clear danger to every worker in Canada. #CDNpoli

Today we showed up 🚌 👟 🚲🚘 to let @fordnation know that we do NOT give you & your government a mandate to privatize our public healthcare system. The cuts that you’ve made have had devastating impacts on our communities and we’re not going to take it. #onpoli #OnHealth #onlab

The Legislature is back after a long summer of this government wasting time with scandal after scandal and the resignation of 3 ministers in just 3 weeks. Ontarians deserve better. You deserve a government you can trust to solve the very real challenges you're facing. #ONpoli

Unions can play a big role in standing up for those under attack, and standing up for trans students is no different. Standing up against these hateful actions is part of our commitment to solidarity, the bedrock of the labour movement. #WorkersUnitedAgainstHate

In light of anti-trans events across Canada taking place today, Canada's Unions re-affirm our support for the 2SLGBTQI+ community. The increased hate and division facing trans people in schools and communities must end. #WorkersUnitedAgainstHate buff.ly/3EMYICe

Until queer & trans workers are safe & respected at work, there is no safe workplace. Canada must implement global labour standard #C190 to end violence & harassment at work for all. #CdnPoli #CanLab #Pride2023
