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.

This is an overwhelming mandate! Congratulations! That sends a message. #CommonFront #Solidarity

3/12 #McGowan announced that 24 of the province's unions have formed a 'Common Front" coalition, signing a solidarity pact.

He says they "will begin the process of organizing towards a potential general strike".

#GeneralStrike #CommonFront

2/6 McGowan laid down the gauntlet:

"To play on the words of wartime Prime Minister Mackenzie King: ‘Not necessarily a general strike, but a general strike if necessary.’"

It would be the first general strike in Alberta's history. "If we’re going to do it, we’re going to do it big."

My union has signed on to the Common Front Solidarity Pact to support #Alberta teachers and to fight for our constitutionally protected right to strike as part of collective bargaining✊.

If your union hasn’t yet signed on, you can urge them to do so and share afl.org/action-pages...

5/9 The UCP's "nuclear" option has now put it on a "potential collision course" with a massive new coalition.

The "Common Front," representing over 350,000 unionized workers, has promised an "unprecedented response" to what it sees as an attack on all labour.

#CommonFront

4/8 The #CommonFront held emergency meetings on Monday and Tuesday to finalize its plan.

When asked if the response could include a provincewide general strike, #McGowan said:

"It’s one of the things that's actively under consideration."

#GeneralStrike

3/8 This is not an idle threat.

The #AFL, representing 175,000 workers, has joined with other unions to form the #CommonFront coalition.

Together, #McGowan says, this coalition represents nearly 400,000 workers in #Alberta.

Albertans, we need to support our teachers. Tell Smith to reverse course!

2/8 "They've transformed this dispute between teachers and the government to a confrontation between government and the broader labour movement," McGowan stated.

He said the govt was warned, and now labour has "no choice but to respond... with an unprecedented response."

#AbPoli #CommonFront

5/9 The move puts the govt on a "potential collision course" with the #CommonFront, a 350,000-worker coalition.

#AFL President Gil #McGowan promised an "unprecedented response" and confirmed meetings are happening Tuesday, with an announcement Wednesday.

Danielle Smith is a threat to Democracy 😡

It was a standing-room only crowd in the grandstand, & 30-ish rally leaders at midfield. #CommonFront #RedforEd

Proud to represent UNA at a huge turnout teachers rally in Grande Prairie at the high school football field.

This is not an idle threat: it’s a promise & commitment we’ve made to each other. On March 26/25, we announced the #SolidarityPact, committing to the principle of collective defense…If any union goes on strike in the days ahead, they can count on solidarity & support from the #CommonFront.

2/9 "The purpose of the Solidarity Pact is to let employers & governments in this province know that the unions will stand together and fight together — all for one, and one for all," declared Alberta Federation of Labour president Gil McGowan at Wednesday's announcement.

I'm experiencing some #CommonFront anxiety caused by agreeing too frequently with Premier Doug Ford. But damn. This is effective messaging. #ElbowsUp
