Multiple UCP fires have combined into one massive fire.
They’re trying to manage it with a garden hose.
Tens of thousands of unionized Albertans have already stated they support a general strike and Labour has only been at it for a week.

A really good overview of the current situation by @jantafrench.bsky.social.

My message to Alberta teachers is simple: you will not stand alone. Tomorrow all other Alberta unions will meet to finalize a plan for unprecedented collective action. The executive council of the Canadian Labour Congress will also meet in emergency session. And, CLC President Bea Bruske will fly to Alberta for our press conference on Wednesday to pledge the support of the entire labour movement. My message to Danielle Smith is also simply. You're the bully going after workers rights & democracy. We will stand up to the bully. Other provincial labour federations, including the Ontario Federation of Labour, will start collecting funds to build a war chest to help pay fines. Danielle Smith may have thought she could bully the teachers into submission. We are not going to let that happen.

If this asshole can taunt the #RCMP about refusing to pay fines for his illegal actions and still isn't arrested- I think the teachers and the ATA can roll the dice, too.

Do not let anyone gaslight us into accepting this. General strike now. #abgeneralstrike #ableg

AFL and the Common Front are holding a public update on Facebook live. Everyone in the chat is spamming for a general strike. #abgeneralstrike

“that will be a new record for the largest public demonstration in Alberta history” oh hell ya.

We have a mass common front of unions extending their arm for solidarity in supporting teachers and I haven't seen a fucking peep from the supposed "leaders of resistance" #abgeneralstrike afl.org/action-pages...
@thebreakdownab.bsky.social Please amplify this from the protest. This is how we fight back! #abgeneralstrike afl.org/action-pages...
To everyone outside of AB, realize that if AB manages to have a general strike, the possibility for one in your province increase infinitely, once people see something is possible, a domino effect. You want to change the status quo?
Here's how it starts.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Gee if only we had an Alberta Oil company to take over 25% of their operations since they laid off 25% of their staff.
another reason for a #abgeneralstrike because @naheednenshi.bsky.social and the @albertandp.ca sure as fuck won't.
