Nurses and other health care workers are leaving the health care system in droves because of dangerous workloads and inadequate compensation, in large part due to Bill 124. If anyone thinks these heroes are “ok”, they are sadly mistaken. #onpoli

Gig workers deserve better than what they got in the recent representation deal that @Uber_Canada signed with a US-based union. We cannot compromise the basic principles of labour rights in such talks, @JerryPDias writes in the @TorontoStar. #canlab

Canada absolutely needs a strong auto strategy that positions the industry for the future, buffers against trade threats, and secures & creates good union jobs, from mining & processing critical minerals, to building batteries and parts, to final assembly. https://t.co/P0svRmNilh
Unifor's testimony on Canada-US trade policies pushes for an auto strategy that protects and grows unionized auto and parts jobs, secures a Canadian carve-in for US EV rebates, and strengthens our EV supply chain. Watch the full video: https://t.co/oE7P3Qnjja #canlab#cdnpoli

As Unifor celebrates #BlackHistoryMonth 2022 in February, we ask our local unions and workplace union representatives to celebrate Black Unifor members and safely support community events. Here is a list of events by province marking Black History Month: https://t.co/PghvhXRn9w
#Unifor has come a long with racial justice, with more work on the way. As trade unionists, we need to listen racialized communities and continue to advance racial justice in our communities, workplaces and our union. #blackhistorymonth
#BlackHistoryMonth isn’t an event we only acknowledge in February. Unifor has long been advocating that it is vital to acknowledge and recognize Black members everyday. Read our statement here. https://t.co/6Reoqeatw6
