✊🏾 An excellent picket line visit to #SupportPostalWorkers, on strike for good local jobs.
💯 @cupw is right to fight for equal pay for part-time & temporary workers. Otherwise every new position will become low-wage & precarious. 1/2 ...

Callous Liberal Immigration Minister @MarcMillerVM Ploughs Through Crowds of Migrants He's Deporting.
This is how Liberal-Conservative polices treat migrants - like we are disposable. But migrants are unafraid, we we will confront injustice. We will win #StatusForall.

“[W]e need to pay close attention to how public institutions like the RCMP are employing press releases to hide, deny, and normalize ongoing colonial violence.”

According to a new report, three-quarters of Canadians are unaware that there is a news ban on Facebook and Instagram — including the users who say they get their news on these platforms. #CdnMedia

Workers with disabilities aren’t earning a living wage in British Columbia.

This is BIG! 🚗✅🍔
Gig workers deserve stability > precarity. Glad to see this move towards a dignified wage for ride-hailing & food delivery workers.
NEW - BC will become first jurisdiction in Canada, starting on Sept. 3, to have minimum wage for engaged time, and a minimum per-kilometre vehicle allowance to compensate ride hailing and food delivery workers for their vehicle expenses. #bcpoli

As of September, BC gig workers will be paid for "engaged time" which is a step in the right direction but the government could go further says @VeroSioufi like ensuring workers are paid while waiting to accept assignments. #PrecariousWork

VPD officers acted with excessive force and disregard for the safety & human rights of peaceful people, including Indigenous peoples holding sacred fire.
We oppose this reckless violence, rooted in colonial violence. UBCIC firmly stands with all victims harmed by police brutality
