Pierre Poilievre wants us to believe he’s “pro-worker” while taking endorsements from anti-union groups like Merit Canada...🤨🙄
Nice try Mr. Poilievre, you can’t claim to stand for workers while siding with those who weaken their very rights.

This confirms what front-line CUPE members in health care have experienced every day at work for many years:
"a culture in health care that fails to allocate funds to the front lines, deprioritizes patients and ignores the voices of front-line health-care workers"
Education support workers are the "silent backbone" of Alberta's education system.
"The province must decide whether it values its education system enough to invest adequately in its workforce," writes Breckyn Lagoutte in The Gateway
