Agriculture has long been one of Manitoba's deadliest sectors - and the fatality of a 66-year-old man on the job is not a number, but a life. Every worker in every sector must return home from the job alive. #EnforceWestray #canlab

"...people...want to unionize because they want better working conditions, they want a better salary, they need better benefits,” says report author Rachel Brickner. #canlab @ccpanovascotia.bsky.social www.thecoast.ca/news-opinion...
Labour advocates in #NovaScotia want to make it easier for workers to unionize in that province. New report from @ccpanovascotia.bsky.social #canlab globalnews.ca/video/120691...
The report notes that only 31% of workers in the province belong to a union or are covered by a collective agreement. @ccpanovascotia.bsky.social #canlab www.halifaxexaminer.ca/labour/a-mou...

If Ottawa expands its authority to end strikes whenever they significantly affect the economy, it will not “modernize” labour relations. It will tilt the system further in favour of corporations, at workers’ expense. — @profsavage.bsky.social

Liberal labour reforms may be presented as a way to manage difficult disputes. But if Ottawa intervenes whenever a strike has major economic consequences, workers’ bargaining power will be weakened precisely when it matters most.
Think your phone is listening to you? You might be right! Vancouver MP @jennykwan.bsky.social hosts a town hall meeting on surveillance pricing, Oct 5 630 pm at Heritage Hall. I will join others to discuss what it means and how to stop it. More info here: www.jennykwanndp.ca/town_hall_me.... #canlab

“National interest” cannot become a catch-all excuse to override workers’ bargaining power whenever a lawful strike has economic consequences. That pressure is precisely what strikes are meant to create.
Disappointed how @maxfawcett.bsky.social framed federal labour law changes in this video. 1. Charter rulings are clear about limiting the strikes. 2. Max talks like strikes can just spontaneously be called - that is not how the system works. Plenty of advance notice is given (1/n) #canlab #cdnpoli
Thank you to IndustriALL for its global solidarity with Unifor Local 12, now eight weeks into strike action at Saint-Gobain manufacturing in Plattsville, Ont.
Members are fighting for fair wages, secure pensions and respect. Read IndustriALL's letter of support.

Canada says proposed labour rules will reduce strike interventions. History suggests a more complicated picture
