Pink Shirt Day is an important reminder that bullying and harassment have no place in our workplaces. Today the BCGEU’s Public Service Bargaining Committee members are wearing pink to show their ongoing commitment to ensuring all workers have safe, inclusive, and supportive workplaces.
Unions play a critical role in combating workplace bullying and harassment. Through collective bargaining, unions can secure anti-harassment protections, enforce workplace rights, and hold employers accountable for fostering respectful workplaces.

Now that it’s all over, one of my favourite #COP28 moments: hearing these powerful women and close allies of @CANRacCanada give 🔥 observer statements for IPO, ENGO and TUNGO at the closing plenary.
Love and admiration to @Saroonie @TasneemEssop @DJPohl!

Message of the Global trade union movement on #COP28: "Parties are sending the world a clear message—we are dangerously far behind. There is an enormous amount of work to do. AND, we still haven’t committed to actually doing it, the how is not clear."😡 #Union4JustTransition🧵1/4

This week, BCGEU C12 1st Vice @DJPohl joined the #TradeUnions delegation to #COP28 to demand a bold #JustTransition focused on climate finance and social justice.
Climate justice is a worker's issue.

📢#COP28 Joy Hernandez speaks at People's Plenary:
🗣️No #JustTransition without labour rights. In a climate where workers are under attack & unionists imprisoned and killed, we don't want climate policies to become another front on the attacks against workers' rights

You know #COP28 is on the precipice of delivering an historic outcome that will change the game in the global transition away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy and energy efficiency when Opec starts to panic.
💥Opec oil cartel is *very* worried about the prospect of #COP28 deciding to back a fossil fuel phase out, according to leaked letters seen by the Guardian

I had promised Minister @s_guilbeault an #EmissionsCap 🧢 if he delivered a policy framework at #COP28. I'm a woman of my word.
Now we need his word to drastically accelerate implementation. Every day 🇨🇦's oil & gas industry is left off the hook is a day too many. #cdnpoli

This COP, and COPs in general are already facing lots of increasing scrutiny and skepticism. We are now hearing that a record-breaking 2400 fossil fuel lobbyists at #COP28 .
I’m a climate activist. Here’s why I’m at a UN conference hosted by an oil CEO 👇

Thorough coverage.
STORY: The Lytton rebuild has thus far been a monumental failure. This is why.

There is a decent chance Barry Neufeld ends up being replaced not just by a progressive school board trustee, but one who trans (and who wears a rainbow bow tie on election signs).
We profiled Teri Westerby before he ran for school board: fvcurrent.com/article/fraser…
#Chilliwack is alone in the #FraserValley with no quality public pools. Contracting out to private operator failed. Tell City Council to support #betterpoolsforChilliwack that are clean, safe, affordable, accessible, available, and public-run nwmd.io/s/twitter/Zh8-CzTEHP…

At a time when trans people, particularly trans women and girls, are under increased attack around the world, let me add my voice to say clearly:
Trans women are women.
