Anti-scab legislation is about giving more power to workers and less to Big Boss CEOs.
For decades the Conservatives tried to stop it - but workers and New Democrats gave them hell. ✊
Today is a historic day for workers in Canada.
The NDPs anti-scab legislation, that gives power back to workers - has passed third reading in Parliament.
Now, workers have the power to fight for the respect they deserve.
To the workers, unions, and labour activists who fought for this - thank you.
New from me: Two new opinion polls seem to confirm a trend: Most Torontonians want a progressive mayor after 13 years of right-leaning rule https://t.co/5sbvZlzrto via @torontostar
Today I called Premier Ford and his ministers liars for the lies they have told about their approach to the education system and to workers. Ford says he is doing everything he can to keep our schools open but he is beating up on the people we need to keep them open. ..2 #onted
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if CUPE workers are essential to keeping schools open and kids in class…then they are also essential enough to receive a decent wage. I urge you: Support CUPE workers…and stand against starvation wages everywhere. #IStandWithCUPE
Pierre Poilievre's provincial leaders are waging a war on workers
In Alberta, Danielle Smith wants to lower the minimum wage
In Ontario, Doug Ford is trampling on your ability to ask for better wages
Pierre Polievre is silent
I won't be - I stand with workers

Libraries have always been The Great Equalizer. Especially now during the pandemic. When will the workers who deliver these services get proper recognition rather than pats on the back? What will be the impact of future library budget cuts? @local4948 https://t.co/5fmasKbfXB
