Great event yesterday by @YSWtenants bringing together community and allies to celebrate their inspiring victory after their 16-month rent strike against a corporate landlord who kept squeezing and profiting off tenants through unfair above-guideline rent increases #solidarity
The Unifor Social Justice Fund is in the Dominican with project partners @BananaLink, supporting local labour unions to improve conditions for Haitian migrant banana plantation workers. Great meetings with labour federation leaders @AutonomaCasc and the DR Minister of Labour 🇩🇴
It’s a no brainer! 🤯$2.5 BILLION DOLLARS🤯
Do I want that going to Galen Weston or to public education and health care?

#Students continue to be at the forefront of the anti-war movement. #Unifor stands in full support with students across #Canada and #USA standing up for #peace in #Gaza & denounce all police & other aggression to forcibly remove encampments and silence peaceful protest. #cdnpoli
@UniforTheUnion was glad to come out this morning to help volunteer with @HPICanada packing humanitarian medical kits heading to health clinics in Malawi, supporting those in need of critical health and first aid supplies #internationalsolidarity

Companies continue to use every tactic available to break unions from coercion to the legal system. Sobering reminder why building worker power is critical in the face of a united capital hellbent on dismantling what little state labour protection remain

Horrific reports confirmed that, over the last few days only, at least 10 children died of malnutrition in #Gaza
These deaths are man-made, predictable and entirely preventable.
#Gaza has become hell on earth. When will the world say "enough"?
Very sad news that @OurTimesMag is closing.
"Our Times was founded in 1981 by Frank Lento and Katie Pellizzari and friends as an alternative media for first-generation Italian-Canadian social activists in Toronto."

A clarion call from 6 major unions representing 2 million workers! This is so needed.
@JustinTrudeau needs to re-fund @UNRWA before Canada finds itself at the @CIJ_ICJ facing charges of complicity in genocide.
