Last week, MAP board member @RandyLKitt was a guest with @RajShoan on the @FriendsCndm podcast CanConversations!

Here's a clip of Randy breaking down the regulatory issues facing the newspaper and broadcast sectors in Canada:
No steam coming out of the stacks at the Ryam mill in Temiscaming means no work for Unifor Local 233 members. The last roll came off the machine at 9:03 a.m. ET today—all production is stopped on site with no start up date planned.
Unifor stands with advocates calling for:
- Continued wage improvements and a comprehensive provincial wage grid
- A resumed path to true $10-a-day child care
- A moratorium on new for-profit licensing
- A full 5-year bilateral agreement backed by increased federal and provincial investment
This week, Ontario agreed to an extension to the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC), but major gaps remain that the province should step up and address.
Solidarity knows no borders. The Saint-Gobain Chile Workers’ Union stands with striking Unifor Local 12 members in Plattsville, Ontario, in their fight for fair wages and pension security. Read their letter of support.
