The Co-op Refinery says the scab camp is OH&S compliant. Are the scabs crammed into trailers all wearing N95 masks to sleep? Is the camp cleaned regularly?

Over 10,000 people have signed a petition to shut the camp down to flatten the COVID-19 curve. They deserve answers.

15K is just the start. We want to be the news outlet of the future - because the future belongs to workers.

In this time of uncertainty we are working hard to build a platform for working class voices. Thank you, and solidarity ✊

Hi everyone,

I want to encourage you all to follow @rankandfileca and @Emily_Leedham_ as I will be promoting the show mainly through those accounts now.

I can only monitor so many accounts. This account will stay up but wont be as active. Thanks so much for your support ♡

What is labour's role in the anti-war movement?

@_SimonBlack
from @LAATCanada discusses anti-war organizing, opposing Canada's arms trade with Saudi Arabia and looking to the Lucas Plan for a "just transition" for arms manufacturing workers.

Supreme Steel has worked on all of Winnipeg's major infrastructure projects for the past 10 years, including the WAG's Inuit Art Centre.

Now, Supreme has closed the Wpg plant & offered its @USW_District_3 workers only $950 in severance. #mbpoli #wpgpoli

Scheer resigns after being caught using party funds to pay private school fees. This is Tory education policy in a nutshell: stealing other people's money to send your kids to private school.
