An amazing save by our outstanding Air Canada flight attendant members! These inflight safety professionals deserve to be paid for every minute they work keeping passengers safe whether in the air and on the ground.

[Candace Rennick @CandaceRennick]

Air Canada's flight attendants are among the best inflight safety pros in the business! And it's shameful that they are often unpaid when they're responding to medical emergencies, fires or even bomb threats on the ground. @AirCanada needs to do better by these amazing folks!

[Mark Hancock @MarkHancockCUPE]

Across Nova Scotia, the folks who look after our most vulnerable seniors are saying enough with low wages, understaffing, and being told to carry a broken system on their backs. @TimHoustonNS: stop the attacks on workers & seniors. Give these workers the fair deal they deserve.

[PSI – Public Services International ✊🌍🚩 @PSIglobalunion]

Unions across the US are fighting to stop ICE attacks on workplaces and communities.

PSI's 30 million members around the world stand with all workers taking part in tomorrow's day of action!

While workers struggle with soaring prices and Donald Trump’s trade war, it's clear from #Budget2025 that @MarkJCarney is fighting for boardrooms and billionaires, not working people. He will make life harder for millions of working Canadians to make life easier for Bay Street.

[PSI – Public Services International ✊🌍🚩 @PSIglobalunion]

URGENT! Members from PSI unions @forsa_union_ie and @cgilnazionale on board the @gbsumudflotilla are currently under attack: they face illegal detainment by the Israeli military in international waters.

We denounce this attempt by Israel to block this mission to open a humanitarian corridor.

Our members from the Gaza Healthworker's Union have asked unions across the world to support safe passage for the medical supplies they urgently need to save lives.

Meanwhile, CGIL Italy's largest union, has announced a General Strike for Gaza this Friday in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

CUPW members deserve the ability to address their working conditions at the bargaining table, and Canadians deserve reliable mail delivery - not repeated service cuts and a never-ending race to the bottom. https://t.co/5k9M2rZM3d

[PSI – Public Services International ✊🌍🚩 @PSIglobalunion]

The Global Sumud Flotilla, carrying health workers, trade unionists and medical supplies to Gaza, faces the threat of attack by the Israeli military.

The global labour movement is monitoring the situation and will stand against any aggression.

✊ Air Canada & Air Canada Rouge flight attendants voted 99.1% NO to the company’s wage offer - a record 99.4% turnout.
Poverty wages at Canada’s national carrier? Unacceptable!
After proposed wage increase, they’d still earn less than federal minimum wage. #UnpaidWorkWontFly

[Mark Hancock @MarkHancockCUPE]

Canadian jobs & public services are under threat by Donald Trump’s economic sabotage. Now is not the time for @MarkJCarney to pile on with massive cuts that will erode our vital public services and devastate our communities. https://t.co/CzVdWLspyN

In an almost unthinkable display of conflict-of-interest, a former Air Canada legal counsel, Maryse Tremblay, will rule on whether to end job action by striking Air Canada flight attendants at the Canada Industrial Relations Board.

[CUPE National @cupenat]

The Liberal government has invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to end a strike by Air Canada flight attendants fighting to end unpaid work and poverty wages.

CUPE stands in solidarity with US labour leader Chris Smalls and all the activists unlawfully detained by Israel while on board the @gazafflotilla, #Handala, delivering aid to Gaza. We condemn this brutality and call for their immediate release. #LetAidIn #AllEyesOnGaza

[CUPE National @cupenat]

Stop Bill C-2! This federal border bill is an attack on human and migrant rights, privacy and refugee protection. It severely limits the ability of people to claim asylum in Canada violating international law. Take action now!

[ICLMG @ICLMG]

Take action & share widely! https://t.co/dU9TM4Tf3E

This bill is for Trump, not for Canadians. The govt is seeking massive powers that will violate our rights & freedoms.

C-2 is scheduled for 2nd reading in Parl on June 18 - let's make sure it's voted down! #cdnpoli #stopBillC2

[CUPE National @cupenat]

Anti-apartheid and labour leader Jay Naidoo needs our solidarity. Canada has denied him a visa even though he and his wife have a home and family in Quebec. Tell Prime Minister Mark Carney and government MPs to grant Naidoo a visa and permanent residency.

[OFL @OFLabour]

Take action against the legacy of apartheid! Jay Naidoo renowned South African anti-apartheid leader is denied visa after years of delays on his permanent residency.

Send an email to PM @MarkJCarney and government MPs.
Take action: https://t.co/4Ee5S6hLSK

CUPE joins the urgent call to @MarkJCarney & @AnitaAnandMP: Canada must act to stop the genocide in Gaza and end the war crimes and crimes against humanity in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

[Alex Neve @AlexNeve24]

In our Open Letter to @MarkJCarney & @AnitaAnandMP, 412 legal, human rights, diplomatic, international affairs, social justice, UN, civil society, faith & labour leaders & experts make it unflinchingly clear: Canada must act to end genocide in #Gaza.

Waiting, vacillating, remaining silent and failing or, worse, refusing to act in the face of mounting and incontrovertible evidence of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity can no longer be options for Canada.

But it is not enough to simply speak out. Canada must do everything in its power to stop these atrocities and support efforts to bring those responsible to account. That requires immediate action in five priority areas and galvanizing joint measures at next week's #G7Summit:

1. Work actively towards an immediate, permanent ceasefire and the release of all Israeli and Palestinian captives.

2. Insist on full humanitarian access to Gaza in a manner in keeping with core humanitarian principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality and independence, and demand that the Israeli ban on the UN Relief and Works Agency be completely lifted.

3. Publicly support the role of and fully comply with international courts in holding to account those who violate international law in the Occupied Palestinian Territory including Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and Israel.

4. Pursue all possible domestic measures, including immediately withdrawing from the free trade agreement between Canada and Israel, imposing sanctions on Israeli leaders and other individuals suspected of involvement in atrocity crimes, initiating investigations into charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity under the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act (including any Canadians or dual nationals involved in such crimes) with the aim of prosecuting offenders in Canada or other jurisdictions, enforcing a full and comprehensive two-way arms embargo, and stripping charitable status from organizations found to be complicit in crimes under international law.

5. Without further delay, join the 149 states who recognize the State of Palestine and support all efforts for Palestine to be admitted as a full member of the United Nations.

We end noting that ...

"Prime Minister, there is no question as to which side of history Canada belongs. Because of Canada’s proclaimed “shared values” and close relationship with Israel, Ottawa must spare no effort to bring the genocide in Gaza, and the war crimes and crimes against humanity in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, to an immediate end. Upholding international law is the only avenue through which not only peace, justice and human rights, but the durable, long-term security of Israelis and Palestinians alike will be achieved."
