This is what true leadership looks and sounds like. Thank you @miaamormottley

I have no difficulty with a trade union standing up to the Government I lead. If that is what the interests of workers require, then that is what it must do.

It was an honour to deliver the inaugural Patrick Frost Memorial Lecture for CTUSAB and to speak plainly about our responsibility to the working people of this country.

We cannot claim to put workers first and then take offence when their union speaks up for them. That independence must be respected, whoever is in office. I say so without fear of contradiction.

I have never been one to make a great fuss about my own birthday. Today, as I turn 61, what I feel most is gratitude.

There is something about this year, 2026, about all we have been through, the love we have shared and the losses we have felt, that makes the gift of another birthday especially precious. These moments remind us how much it matters to have people to share our lives with.

I am grateful for life. For my family, my friends and the people who quietly hold me up. For the privilege of serving this country I love. For all of you whose encouragement gives me strength, especially on the difficult days. I could not do this without you.

To everyone whose well wishes have reached me so early this morning, and everyone who will reach out throughout the day, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I feel the love, and I do not take a moment of it for granted.

Thank you for continuing to walk with me as the years go by, and as I give of my best in service to Barbados and our people.

I am going to try to enjoy today. I am still going to work, though! 😊

Picketers have a legal right to picket - NO ONE has the right to touch anyone without their permission. It is time for law enforcement to enforce the law and charge those who break the law. #righttostrike #canlab #UNIFOR

A casino worker on strike tries to prevent gamblers trying to enter the Pickering Casino Resort and gets into a physical altercation as she’s moved aside for cars to proceed.

It was a privilege to meet and have the opportunity to speak with this amazing actor who has used his voice to speak up in support of social justice issues and reparations for decades. It is heartbreaking that he and his family are now living with this debilitating disease. 🫂

Our prayers are with Danny Glover and his family following his Alzheimer's diagnosis. For decades, Danny has used his voice not only to entertain, but to fight for justice, equality, and human dignity. His courage in sharing this diagnosis reminds us that Alzheimer's touches millions of families and that those living with it deserve compassion and support.

@kristynwongtam Thank you Lillie Johnson.

[International Labour Organization @ilo]

15 years ago, ILO Convention No. 189 recognized domestic work as real work.

Yet millions of domestic workers still lack labour rights, social protection and decent conditions.

The NDP forced the Liberals to pass federal anti-scab legislation. But corporate giants are now exploiting a loophole to use outside managers as replacement workers. The law must stop employers from using scab labour. Period. Today I introduced Bill C-284 to close this loophole.

@Prof_Savage @Prof_Savage woukd this be a rebalance or tip in favour of the unions with the largest membership?

This is one of my favorite videos of all time. As a child psychologist, it’s a perfect example of joint attention, preverbal communication, and coregulation.

@RKHomeowner thank you for your article on BMO. They should also be investigated for how they allow pay backs on lines of credit. If you are out of the country or away from a BMO branch there is no way to pay back the principal on LOC except at a branch.

It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of OSSTF/FEESO’s Associate General Secretary, Joel Duff. This is an unimaginable loss to our Federation, as Joel represented the very best of us.

Joel joined OSSTF/FEESO in August 2023 as a dedicated labour activist committed to protecting public education. Joel spent the entire 21st century in service of the broader labour movement in a wide range of elected and staff roles. These included serving as the Ontario Organizer for the Canadian Federation of Students, Communications Director for the Ontario Federation of Labour, Executive Political Assistant to the President of the Canadian Labour Congress, and the Associate Executive Director of the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations.

Joel came to OSSTF/FEESO with a clear vision: to defend and strengthen public education. He joined a union that had long been at the forefront of change but also stood on the cusp of transformation. With conviction and principle, he set out to strengthen the Federation’s organizing and mobilizing strategy for the challenges ahead.

Joel reflected the best qualities of a deeply committed colleague, comrade, and friend. He took the time to understand people and what made them unique, and believed that every person, regardless of their title or role, played a part in building a movement and he made that belief felt. Joel leaves a lasting impact on many across the country, within the labour movement and beyond. He will be remembered with great affection by his neighbours, coworkers, friends, allies, and comrades. OSSTF/FEESO is committed to continuing his work in fighting for a just society for students and workers alike.

We extend our sincere condolences to his partner, Lauren, their two children, and all his loved ones.

No different from what Bromley Armstrong, Hugh Burnett and others did in Ontario, Canada in the 1950’s

We’re still buzzing from last week’s 2SLGBTQIA+ Parliamentary Reception with @enchantenetwork, @queermomentum & @prideatworkcan! 🌈

2SLGBTQIA+ workers face unique barriers at work, and it’s time to modernize the Employment Equity Act to include them as a designated group.
