Too many workers, especially women and gender-diverse people, face violence and harassment on the job.
If you’ve ever felt unsafe or witnessed it, we want to hear from you. #16Days#RiseUp
Take our survey: https://t.co/58yzLWuWBG
Violence and harassment should never be part of the job — and our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of Amber Czech, a 20-year-old Minnesota welder who was brutally attacked and killed in her workplace. #canlab

🧵1/ For years, postal workers have put forward smart, practical ideas to strengthen Canada Post and serve Canadians better.
From expanding delivery service, to providing financial services, to ensuring rural and remote communities aren’t left behind.
🧵1/Canada’s unions are ready to work with the govt, if today’s announcement truly delivers for workers.
We need a worker-centred strategy that invests in warehousing, ports, rail & energy, while championing EVs and decarbonizing exports backed by strong labour standards
Canada’s unions refuse to accept punishing tariffs on critical Canadian export industries as “the new normal.”
Now is the time for the government to stand strong against President Trump’s attacks on Canadian workers and our economy—not cave in to his demands. #cdnpoli
🧵
1/ Between workers who are demanding fair pay and a rich corporation that forces them to do hours of unpaid work, the Liberals sided with the corporation.
Is that what Canadians voted for? 🤔
Solidarity with @cupw members during this pivotal week.
A strong, public postal service keeps our communities connected, coast to coast to coast. It’s not a luxury. It’s essential.
That means supporting the postal workers who make it all happen.
The debate consortium has cut health care from the leaders’ debate.
It’s a staggering disservice to Canadians—and proof they’re out of touch. Health care is a top priority across the country. Cutting it out is indefensible. @Debates_Can#cdnpoli#Debates2025
My message to the Prime Minister: we need a real plan to protect workers, not last-minute scrambling.
Flanked by a number of union leaders representing thousands of workers with jobs on the line, we called for immediate EI enhancement.
Canada's unions met tonight to strategize ahead of the Prime Minister’s Canada-U.S. Economic Summit this Friday. Because Donald Trump’s tariff threats haven’t gone away—they’ve just been delayed. The clock is ticking and we must prepare for the next fight. 🧵👇 #cdnpoli#canlab
Trump is waging an economic war on Canada. He’s banking on chaos and division to help him win.
But we will face this moment with solidarity. We will mobilize our workers to defend our jobs, our communities and our future.
Canada will win.
Amazon shutting down operations in QC is a gross act of corporate union-busting and an attack on workers fighting for fair pay and safety.
It is clear: We need stronger labour laws to stop corporate bullying. https://t.co/2uzt35FOrU
As I told the PM in November, this is an all-hands-on-deck moment. We need to unite as Canadians to fight back against tariff threats. The govt must prepare a strong plan to support workers who will be impacted. #WorkersTogether
Why should 🇨🇦 ban scabs?
Scab labour:
- Undermines the right to strike
- Prolongs & intensifies labour disputes
- Escalates hostility on picket lines
It's time. Senators must pass Bill C-58 to ban scabs, protect workers & uphold the right to strike.
"We are overdue for a rate cut," says @CanadianLabour Senior Economist, @DTCochrane. And I agree. Gov. Macklem must understand that corporate price gouging drove inflation. It's time for him to lower interest rates. #CdnEcon#CdnPoli
We know interest rates can't fix inflation caused by supply issues and corporate greed. Workers and their families have been bearing the brunt of the @BankofCanada decisions for too long.

We welcome the 🇨🇦 govt's plans to move forward with the EI Board of Appeal & want to see it in place as soon as possible.
This is only a first step towards much-needed EI reform - Canada's unions will keep pushing to ensure workers' voices are heard. #CanLab
