Auschwitz stands as a symbol of the Holocaust—a painful reminder of where hatred can lead.

On Jan. 27, 1945, Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated. In 2005, the UN declared this day as #HolocaustRemembrance to honour victims & ensure we #NeverForget.

All transit workers deserve decent pay and safe working conditions. Solidarity to the @unifor committee and members in bargaining. @ITFglobalunion safe rates save lives. #bclab #bcpoli

Heading towards a Feb. 8 strike deadline, Unifor members at @Transdev in Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island will not wear their uniforms until the company comes to the table with a fair deal.

ITF General Secretary Stephen Cotton talks to @BBCNews @BenThompsonTV about how the rise in seafarer abandonment, and the role played by Flags of Convenience, is having a devastating effect on the lives of workers.

Congratulations to the Pune Metro contract workers for organising their first union meeting with RMS India

Everyone deserves decent work, regardless of occupation or employment status.

[Scott Bateman @scottbateman422]

Privileged to join in the discussion about bargaining priorities and devolping strategies and how to combat the threat of tariffs with committees from across the country. Great leadership from @SharonWalshNL in this sector.
Everyone who attended left with new ideas and knowledge.

Love our members. What a great crew.

Thank you for sharing your concerns about Trump’s trade policies and his threats impacting Cdn jobs and workers.

We will organize and fight together.

All workers. From all parts of the economy.

Solidarity is the only way. #cdnpoli

[Lana Payne 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @Lanampayne]

Instead of demanding a laundry list of things to align with a Trump administration (such as deregulation, more tax cuts for the wealthy, and weakened workers’ rights) perhaps the business class in Canada could actually STAND UP for our country.

Defend Canada. #cdnpoli

[Scott Bateman @scottbateman422]

We need solid plans and policies in place for all workers in Canada. Slogans and catchphrases won't protect us.

[Lana Payne 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @Lanampayne]

A message to all running for office everywhere.

This is labour’s time.

If you’re going to work for workers, show us what that means!

How will you defend workers from this kind of egregious attack on their constitutional rights?

I have a list.

Let’s go. #cdnpoli

Corporations must be held accountable. Workers need to organise like never before. #canlab #Canpoli

[Lana Payne 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @Lanampayne]

Amazon is an example of how our laws fail workers.

Of how the obscenely wealthy can circumvent laws and rights and democracy.

But democratic govts can make a difference with political will.

You stand with workers or with oligarchs.

It’s that kind of moment.

Let's Go!! Lana

[Lana Payne 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @Lanampayne]

These are the times that define leaders.

Some rise to the occasion. Some fail to understand the full magnitude of the moment and what it requires of them.

To those rising to the occasion, thank you.

We have a country to save, an economy to protect and workers to defend.

[Lana Payne 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @Lanampayne]

Here is a bargaining 101 lesson to all those trying to appease Trump.

Don’t.

The demands will keep coming.

We need a united front. And we need to push back hard.

We have leverage. Lots and lots of it.

We use it.

#cdnpoli

[Unifor @UniforTheUnion]

Together Unifor and our members will stand against Trump’s bully tactics to protect and defend Canadian jobs. Watch this video message from National President @Lanampayne. #cdnpoli #canlab

[Lana Payne 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @Lanampayne]

For those still thinking we should just take a breath.

Stop now. We are facing an existential threat.

We MUST come together as a nation to fight for our country, Cdn workers and the economy.

Stop the political games and get serious about what is in front of us. #cdnpoli

[International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) @ITFglobalunion]

A message from Stephen Cotton, ITF General Secretary, on the pivotal progress made during #ITFCongress2024, and a look ahead to our vision for the next 5 years.

Thank you to our affiliates and all transport workers everywhere. Together, we move the world.
