Canadian labour has lost a remarkable leader.
Sister Stephanie Smith was a fierce champion for workers who led with humility, integrity & compassion. I'm proud to have called her a sister.
My heartfelt condolences to her loved ones & our labour family.

This letter reads like it was dictated by a drunk at the end of the bar who won't leave when it's closing time.

Union apprenticeship programs are a time-tested model for building a skilled, safe, and diverse workforce. From classroom training to hands-on experience, they set the standard for excellence in the construction industry.

It was an honour to receive the King’s Coronation Medal in recognition of my work in the skilled trades and helping build Canada’s apprenticeship landscape.
Minister Williams has been a champion for women’s rights and the status of women in the skilled trades. I was pleased to work with her during my tenure at Skilled Trades Ontario.
Thank you, Minister, for this great honour.

BREAKING: Trump’s VA just gave doctors the green light to refuse treatment to veterans who are Democrats or unmarried.
Yes—you read that right. Serve your country, risk your life, and when you come home, your care depends on your politics and marital status.

We mourn the passing of Buzz Hargrove—a pillar of Canada’s labour movement and a lifelong champion for working people. From the shop floor to national leadership, Buzz never lost sight of where he came from. His legacy lives on in our fight for justice and dignity for all workers
Unifor is saddened by the passing of Buzz Hargrove, a beloved and iconic figure in Canada’s labour movement. As National President of the CAW, Buzz was a tireless advocate for working people whose impact will be felt for generations. #canlab unifor.org/news/all-news/uni…

Ontario and Nova Scotia have never been closer than we are today!
Great to connect with the @mainlandtrades this morning to talk about how our two provinces are focused on breaking down barriers to grow Canada’s skilled workforce.
From worker mobility to harmonized training standards, we’re building a more connected labour market that supports productivity and economic prosperity across the country. Building trades are key to our plan to nation build once again!

Terry Moran worked at ABC for 28 years. Now, for calling Stephen Miller “hateful,” (which he is per his own family), ABC fired him to appease an authoritarian who ran on “free speech.” The will chill speech for all journalists. Authoritarianism advances. Fourth Estate fails.

Our union will always fight for safer job sites, industry-leading pay, and democracy at work.

The NYPD and ICE 'mistakenly' arrest a Chilean woman on vacation in New York City, leaving her 12-year-old daughter (who was with her) on the street alone.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Although ICE are not involved, NYPD mistakenly charged and arrested this Chilean tourist, believing she was involved in a crime, weirdly after she asked the police for help. Despite the mistake, she will still appear in court on July 11.

ICE violently arrested @seiucalifornia’s David Huerta for doing what union leaders do best: standing in solidarity. This is an attack on civil liberties and the labour movement. We echo the @AFLCIO and demand his immediate release. #FreeDavidHuerta
