They serve the most vulnerable - those with developmental disabilities, single mothers fleeing violence, Ontario’s children in care and more.

And they are some of the lowest paid. Community services are at a breaking point, and workers say NO MORE.

🚨3885 community service workers are ON STRIKE across Ontario🚨

They are:
1) Fighting against Ford's cuts and for funding for services communities need;

2) Demanding justice for stolen wages under Bill 124

My message to the Prime Minister: we need a real plan to protect workers, not last-minute scrambling.

Flanked by a number of union leaders representing thousands of workers with jobs on the line, we called for immediate EI enhancement.

@AdrianMorrow Congrats and welcome to the club

🚨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.

#TradeUnions demand an ambitious and labour-focused #JustTransition in the #GlobalStocktake at #COP28 that delivers on the 1.5°C goal, on climate finance and social justice.

The Sustainable Jobs Act will give workers the voice they deserve as Canada takes action on climate change. Instead of supporting workers like he says he does, Poilievre is blocking it. Decision-makers need to stop playing games and get this bill moving.

Bill #C228 passed #HoC. This bill will protect workers’ & pensioners’ pensions in the event of employer bankruptcy. Pensions are hard-earned—that money belongs to workers. @SenateCA must now pass C228 & safeguard the pensions of millions

A #JustTransition is about sustainable work that lets us meet our climate targets. At #ITUC2022, union leaders from around the world are calling for unionized, low-carbon jobs as governments make efforts to decarbonize our economy. #CanLab #CdnPoli

[IndustriALL 🦋 @industriall-union.org @IndustriALL_GU]

The Canadian unions at #COP27 lobbied their delegation hard on #JustTransition, and the Canadian delegation head has spoken up to defend workers’ rights in the plenary.

Well done, brothers and sisters.

It's been the honour of my life to serve as Premier of BC. I've tried my level best to make a positive difference in people's lives.

I'm looking forward to spending more time with Ellie, serving as an MLA, and going back to being John from Langford.

Thank you, for everything.

"It is going to be a difficult #COP27 because the window is closing on us to tackle the climate crisis." Rebecca Okello - speaking for the global workers movement at #COP27 - calls for a workers' focused #JustTransition with #SocialDialogue and #LabourRights 1/2👇

Pierre Poilievre just got handed the keys to a publicly-funded mansion – while he votes against affordable housing measures for everyone else. He’s cut public services – but he’s been happy to take a 6-figure salary on the public dime for 20 years. #CdnPoli #CdnLab

I love @BrickWorksCider but $8.50 a can at the off sale in riverside is completely nuts. How can buying it direct cost 3x more than at the LCBO? Yikes.
