President @CanadianLabour. Advocating for workers across 🇨🇦. Mom, dog-lover, proud former grocery clerk, fighting for an inclusive economy. #CanLab #CDNPoli
- Spoke w/ @pmtrudeau about the Ford govt’s unprecedented use of the Notwithstanding Clause. The federal govt must intervene w/ the Disallowance Clause to stop Ford from taking a sledgehammer to workers’ rights. These actions demand a strong response. #StandWithCUPE #onlab #canlab
- It’s time to stand up for Canada. It’s time to stand up for Canadian jobs. As Prime Minister @MarkJCarney goes to Ottawa to decide on Canada’s response, I want him to know that Canada’s Unions will stand behind a strong response that protects Canada and our workers. Elbows up
- Canada’s unions met tonight in an emergency meeting—and unanimously voted to push back on Danielle Smith’s attack on workers’ Charter rights. Politicians who take away working people’s rights will pay a price at the polls. #WorkersRights #ABpoli #canpoli
- Here’s why Poilievre will never win over workers:
00:00 - Workers flipping burgers pay taxes on every dollar they earn, while those flipping stocks are taxed on only half of their income. Does this seem fair to you? Today, @cafreeland tabled a motion that will raise tax fairness by making changes to capital gains taxation. #cdnpoli
- Air Canada flight attendants, members of @cupenat, have delivered a decisive blow to employers who think they can sidestep fair bargaining by hiding behind Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code.
- With this vote Poilievre has shown he believes that an ordinary worker flipping burgers for a living should be taxed on 100% of their income while his CEO friends making millions from flipping stocks should be taxed only on half of their income.
- This week, we've witnessed disappointing political games from @PierrePoilievre & the Conservatives. Their dirty procedural tactics are aimed at delaying, derailing & blocking crucial legislation designed to benefit workers across Canada. 🧵1/
- Tonight, Poilievre & his wealthy Bay Street buddies will tuck into a $1700/plate dinner at an exclusive private club while millions of workers across Canada skip meals to make ends meet. Is this how he's holding rich CEOs accountable? #CanLab #CdnPoli politico.com/newsletters/ot…
- Poilievre: - Made it harder for workers to organize - Attacked workers’ right to strike - Forced low-wages on workers When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
00:00 - This deal only happened because CUPE flight attendants & unions held strong against the Liberal govt's misuse of Section 107. That back-to-work order was an obstacle to free collective bargaining. Canada’s unions demand Section 107 be removed from the Labour Code. #solidarityPlease see my statement on the latest development between CUPE Flight Attendants at Air Canada and Air Canada: // Voici ma déclaration sur les derniers développements entre les agents de bord du SCFP d’Air Canada et Air Canada :
- Replying to @PresidentCLCWe came out stronger and united, with a clear message to push back against the government’s attacks on workers’ rights: an attack on one is an attack on all. The labour movement is united and standing firm, and we will not allow these Charter-protected rights to be trampled upon.
