Today is a historic day for workers in Canada.

The NDPs anti-scab legislation, that gives power back to workers - has passed third reading in Parliament.

Now, workers have the power to fight for the respect they deserve.

To the workers, unions, and labour activists who fought for this - thank you.

Whether it's construction workers, paramedics, police, or fire personnel, they all deserve our patience and respect to do their jobs safely. Remember to slow down and give them space ⚠️

1) On April 22, 2024, Trustee Paul Coffey made a public presentation to the Board of Mountain View School Division.

It was full of falsehoods, assumptions & demonstrable ignorance.

As a former ELA & social studies teacher, I feel the need to grade the presentation…🪡🧵

Very grateful to @seineriverteach for this opportunity!

[Seine River Teachers @seineriverteach]

Today we are officially kicking off our "Reading is for Everyone" initiative in @seineriversd. With funding from @mbteachers, we are providing our school librarians a way to add books that they feel are important to have in libraries.

Thank you to @MFLabour's Executive Council for supporting Local 143 (Seine River SD Trades) members today on the picket line. It was a great boost for these members in their second week of strike action.

We couldn’t let Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week go by without recognizing Local 143 members who are on the picket line for fair wage increases. You can support them too by telling the SRSD Board that Trades employees deserve a fair and reasonable offer.

The majority of school support staff in rural Manitoba earn far less than their colleagues in Winnipeg, even when their wages are adjusted for cost-of-living differences #mbed #wfp https://t.co/HbC6oKJ3xh

This is a good message for @MVSD_Schools Trustees to consider very seriously

[CityNews Winnipeg @CityNewsWPG]

Labour unions in Manitoba are hoping the federal government’s move to ban replacement workers during labour disruptions is also replicated by the provincial government. @EdwardDjan1 has more.

[Manitoba Federation of Labour @MFLabour]

“It’s about protecting workers’ rights and giving them a fair bargaining process where one side cannot just act like a strike is not happening and replace them,” said Kevin Rebeck, president of the Manitoba Federation of Labour.

Get out and vote for trustees Brandon! Vote for the protection of the rights of all children to be who they are.
Don't let those who would remove the rights of SOME children prevail.

Book ban brouhaha far from over
