🚨New poll: 👉62% believe unions make life better 👉80% of young workers see barriers to organizing 👉70% want govt to remove barriers Politicians must commit to protect & enhance workers' rights & crack down on union-busting employers. #CanLab #CdnPoli canadianlabour.ca/canadians-back…
Happy International Workers Day! From WLUFA to all our Members, unionized colleagues, and workers worldwide, today we celebrate your contributions and #solidarity. #MayDay #InternationalWorkersDay @OCUFA @CAUT_ACPPU @CLCOntario @CanadianLabour @wrlabourcouncil @BDLC99
Happy May Day! #InternationalWorkersDay
Everyone is invited to stop by the Brantford & District Labour Centre this evening from 5:30 - 7:00 PM for a Celebration of International Workers' Day! Happy #MayDay Everyone!
Fines are not serving as a deterrent to prevent workplace deaths. Employers must be held accountable when workers are injured or killed as a result of their work. If you kill a worker, you should go to jail. The Westray Law must be enforced.

Forest firefighters are finally receiving WSIB coverage after years of advocacy from firefighters and the @OntarioNDP! It’s the least the government can do to keep those who protect our Ontario forests safe. #ONpoli

It was an honour to speak at the Toronto Day of Mourning ceremony - commemorating those who have been injured or lost their lives while at work. Workers deserve to feel safe at work. You can count on New Democrats to continue to advocate for workers and their safety.
Gavin Jacklyn is an incredible advocate for safe working conditions for firefighters and for all working people. Thank you again @GavinKita8 for speaking powerful words at the @BDLC99 Day of Mourning Ceremony! @BrantfordPFFA @JoshVanHorne2

Get to know Edie Strachan, Milton's NDP candidate for the upcoming by-election: miltonnow.ca/2024/04/23/119…
In Milton today, out knocking on doors with our fantastic @OntarioNDP candidate, @ediestrachanndp ~ with @waterloompp and the amazing volunteers and supporters!
Everywhere you look unions & workers are rising up to take on corporate greed & fight for families. I attended @OPSEU's convention where the theme was #WorkersFightBack I promise I'll keep fighting for you —for better jobs & an economy that works for people, not the ultra-rich.
Thanks to their determination, Ontario’s forest firefighters will soon have the same presumptive WSIB coverage that urban firefighters do. This change brings us a step closer to recognizing the risks forest firefighters take to keep us safe. Read more: tinyurl.com/3hmmuta2

Governor Macklem, don't lose sight of who pays price for high interest rates & growing job losses. Unemployment 📈 and the hardest hit are racialized & younger workers. The longer @bankofcanada delays rate cuts, the more those with the least will suffer the most.
So many families caught in the @bankofcanada’s high interest trap. Rent, mortgages, loans, credit cards all weighing down people struggling to keep their head above water. Governor Macklem, time to loosen the reins & cut interest rates to provide relief to families. #CdnPoli
