Canadian labour has lost a remarkable leader.

Sister Stephanie Smith was a fierce champion for workers who led with humility, integrity & compassion. I'm proud to have called her a sister.

My heartfelt condolences to her loved ones & our labour family.

This letter reads like it was dictated by a drunk at the end of the bar who won't leave when it's closing time.

Union apprenticeship programs are a time-tested model for building a skilled, safe, and diverse workforce. From classroom training to hands-on experience, they set the standard for excellence in the construction industry.

It was an honour to receive the King’s Coronation Medal in recognition of my work in the skilled trades and helping build Canada’s apprenticeship landscape.

Minister Williams has been a champion for women’s rights and the status of women in the skilled trades. I was pleased to work with her during my tenure at Skilled Trades Ontario.

Thank you, Minister, for this great honour.

BREAKING: Trump’s VA just gave doctors the green light to refuse treatment to veterans who are Democrats or unmarried.

Yes—you read that right. Serve your country, risk your life, and when you come home, your care depends on your politics and marital status.

[Bea Bruske, CLC President @PresidentCLC]

We mourn the passing of Buzz Hargrove—a pillar of Canada’s labour movement and a lifelong champion for working people. From the shop floor to national leadership, Buzz never lost sight of where he came from. His legacy lives on in our fight for justice and dignity for all workers
