I’m so very proud of Linda Silas, @CFNUPresident, who will continue the critical work of fighting for a better health care system, which in the middle of a pandemic is more important than ever.
#ReadyToKeepFighting along your side, my friend.
"We all know that if we increase staffing — the core staffing — if we staff hospitals and communities and long-term care facilities based on the patient in the bed ... that we will have better outcomes for health care of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians." @yvette_coffey
I have known Linda a lot of yrs, through many tough moments for workers and the union movement.
She is an incredible, inclusive union leader, a builder, a strong feminist. She knows how to fight for the better world we all know is possible.
Sisterhood! Always. 💔

How serious is the provincial government deficit?
It’s serious. It needs to be resolved. And it can be—without
undermining the services we need... https://t.co/4eTN1aEx4y

Workers are being forced to make the impossible choice between going to work sick or struggling to put food on the table – and it’s risking people’s lives.
Demand permanent paid sick days now for every worker in Newfoundland and Labrador

This International Women's Week let's talk about the impact of this pandemic on women.
It has exposed deep inequality and inequities and for many women the impact has been much much worse.
No recovery without a plan for all the sisters.
(Oh and we refuse to go back!)

It is with some sadness but renewed resolve that I announce I am withdrawing my candidacy to become the next president of the Canadian Labour Congress. Read my full message below. #canlab https://t.co/HCydF1N6Aq
thank you @JackHarrisNDP and @NDP for supporting universal, public, single payer pharmacare. Shame on the rest of you who voted against C213 today, especially the 6 NL Liberal MPs #canpoli#nlpoli#canlab
Wow far away from your roots as a nurse MP Cathy McLeod who just voted against a national Pharmacare Program #cdnpoli#nurses4pharmacare it’s clear @CFNU
I am not only disappointed with the outcome of today’s vote, I am left wondering how so many Liberal MPs can justify rejecting this bill. It closely mirrors recommendations from the government’s own advisory council. #canlab#cdnhealth#cdnpoli@MPJulian https://t.co/KIFkBDO84i
Liberals vote against #public#universal#Pharmacare betraying their 2019 election promises, repudiating Hoskins report they commissioned & rejecting views of 100,000 Canadians that demanded #PharmacareNow. #BigPharma won this battle, but Canadians get final say next election.
! We are in the midst of a global health emergency. We need to align our efforts in service of health.
Come on, Team 🇨🇦. We need to pull in the same direction. @PattyHajdu@JustinTrudeau#cdnpoli#Pharmacare
A reminder to all MPs who failed to support universal health care.
We are in the middle of a brutal pandemic. Millions of Cdns are out of work with no access to health benefits. Millions more had no coverage before the pandemic.
This is not how we build back better. #cdnpoli
I'm watching each and every Liberal MP vote against universal National Pharmacare. This is so typical: campaign on a progressive slate and rule like a conservative. Way to go @liberal_party
So frustrating to see the Lib MP's vote against recommendations made by their own Hoskins report-Canadians haven't been well served by them-no hope from the Cons, shame on them-Canadians need a National Pharmacare plan so they don't have 2 chose between meds &paying 4 bills.
