Liam Johnston died on the job at 27. His loved ones want to see change and accountability | CBC News The family of a 27-year-old who died on a plumbing job in Calgary say they want to see the company he worked for charged criminally. Advocates have been asking for more prosecutions in workplace death...

A trench box would have saved Liam's life. His employer didn't provide one.

We must hold employers like Mr. Mike's accountable for their criminal negligence. If we don't, there will be more Liams.

2/9 The investigations, which began over 2 years ago, were detailed in internal records.

WorkSafeBC investigators suspected a "second-tier compensation system is in operation, circumventing WSBC."

This system allegedly operated outside the official, legally required reporting channels.

The OFL passes a motion of solidarity for the @opseusefpo.bsky.social College Support workers that are preparing to strike on September 11th.

Remember - Support Staff are usually the first to be laid off or victims of cuts that come down from College Administration.

Labour is punk as fuck.
No encore, just fair and equal pay.

Don’t just rage — organize. Get your union card today. 💪

Not Just A Long Weekend: Reclaiming Labour Day For this Labour Day, let’s take a deep dive on where we’ve come from, what Canadian workers are up against, and the organizing that we need now. Labour Day didn’t start as a sale …

Surprise! A Labour Day Blog Post!

"Not Just A Long Weekend: Reclaiming Labour Day"

Canada loves Labour Day, but does it remember why we have it in the first place and what it stands for?

#Unions 💪 We need more unions, strong ones, to defend workers’ rights and negotiate fair wages and fair working conditions. The system is out-of-whack, grossly in favour of employers. Not ok! #cdnpoli #CdnLabour #Strike @cupescfp.bsky.social @cape-acep.bsky.social @psac-afpc.bsky.social @unifor.org

Again - I must plead my fellow Canadians to understand that labour action in our news media is always widely reported from an anti-worker perspective.

It's manufactured consent.

The only power that workers have over their employers is found in the withdrawal of their labour.

The Erosion Of Labour Rights In Canada as Carney continues to show he's just another Stephen Harper. #cdnpoli #cdnpolitics #cdnlabour

I stand with #AirCanada flight attendants. The CEO and the prime minister with their millions is the worst look. I’ll never forget Patti Hadju. #strike #CdnLabour

2/. But over and over again, the Liberal government, both under PM Carney and his predecessor Justin Trudeau, has bulldozed right over this right without meaningful consequence. So what does a "Charter-protected right" even mean anymore?
#cdnpoli #cdnlabour

🧵1/. The right to strike is a Charter-protected right, & has been since 2015 Supreme Court decision in SFL v. Saskatchewan (Saskatchewan Federation of Labour v. Saskatchewan, 2015 SCC 4, [2015] 1 S.C.R. 245).

As far as I’m concerned, as soon as I’m expected to be at work, the meter starts running, & doesn’t stop until I’m allowed to leave. If my employer is imposing on my personal time, by making me be there, they’re paying me for it. Why should that be any different for Flight Attendants? #cdnlabour

Let’s not forget that along with being Election Day, today is the National Day of Mourning for workers who were either killed on the job or died of work-related illnesses or injuries. #cdnlabour

Wage growth since 1979 has not been stagnant, but it has definitely been suppressed We recently released our annual report assessing wage growth in the U.S. economy. We highlighted that strong and broadly shared wage growth since 2019 contrasted sharply with much slower and unequal r...

To be clear, relative to any reasonable measure of the economy’s potential to deliver broadly shared wage growth or relative to previous historical periods, the post-1979 period has been terrible for typical workers. www.epi.org/blog/wage-gr... #cdnpoli #usapoli #cdnecon #usaecon #cdnlabour #Wages

Honestly, seeing positive news on healthcare in this country inspires this Ontarian.

One day, Ontario will have a government for the people.

We just have to fight for it and it starts by investing in our frontline and our public unions. ✊️

On #Halifax transit on my way to canvass (the 29 is my ride ) and it’s a good opportunity to acknowledge how glad I was to sit down with Patricio Garcia, President of ATU Local 508, to talk about #transit, immigration and labour issues. #nspoli #cdnpoli #cdnlabour #halisky @atucomms.bsky.social

Out doorknocking in Fraser today, and the community support was unstoppable! It was cold and wet but that couldn’t hold back the energy—especially with Stevie’s excitement about me becoming his MP! 🧡

Seeing a lot of handwringing in the news about the effect of the #PostalStrike on consumers holiday shopping and the possible future damage to the corporation as folks switch to other carriers, but virtually nothing about what the employees are striking for.

So much support on the lines as workers stand together for fair treatment, better wages and improved working conditions. Our postal workers keep communities connected, and their fight is a fight for all of us. 💪

To Build Solidarity with Palestine, Labour Movement must look to the past The South African anti-apartheid movement of the 1970s and 80s serves as a significant source of inspiration for Palestine solidarity activists today. The reasons for this are hardly surprising; the m...

A long but vital read. This line from it is a devastating truth.
“Today, certain segments of Canada’s ruling elite, from university presidents to Bay Street executives, have an unearned reputation as friends of Mandela.”
