  1. **A Message from CPSU**
    The Reserve Bank’s decision to hike interest rates to 4.60% is a sledgehammer blow that will only push more working families to the edge financially.

    **Rate cuts are the laziest way to reduce inflation**.

    It doesn’t work because it ignores the root cause: corporate greed and big businesses price gouging their way to huge profits.

    **What this means for working families**

    The numbers paint a stark picture. Homeowners with an average mortgage of $731,000 will have to scrape together another $110 a month to repay their home loan. Combined with the impact of the three previous rate rises this year, that’s an extra $460 a month to service an average mortgage.

    **All it does is pile on financial strain and put thousands more jobs at risk.**

    It also means the 723,000 Australians currently out of work will face a harder time finding a job.

    **The real cause of inflation**

    Dialling up interest rates does nothing to solve inflation because, let’s be real, workers have nothing to do with causing it.

    When we’re at the petrol station watching the numbers tick up at the bowser, it’s a direct result of Donald Trump’s Middle East war.

    When we’re standing in line at the supermarket checkout, make no mistake, those high prices are courtesy of big businesses like Coles and Woolworths trying to protect their bottom line, price gouging their way to record profits year after year.

    Not everything is in our control, but one important thing is. Joining your union is the best way to tackle
    cost-of-living pressures collectively. As a union movement two million strong, we can’t influence global factors outside our control, but *you better believe we’ll continue to campaign to win change that counts*.

    Housing is gradually becoming more affordable thanks to tax changes union members won after a year-long campaign.

    House prices were always one of the leading drivers of inflation, so this is good for the economy just as it’s good for home buyers.

    Right now, we’re pushing for more changes to further improve housing affordability, including building more public housing and strengthening renters’ rights nationwide to help with cost-of-living pressures.

    Working families shouldn’t have to bear the brunt of higher interest rates.

    There are things every worker can do to ease cost-of-living pressures, and **it all starts with joining your union**.

  5. The Great Tariff Loophole: How a Policy Meant to Help Working Americans Ended Up in Corporate Hands

    How Trump's Illegal Trade Duties Transformed Into a Multibillion-Dollar Corporate Windfall by Winston Wendell When President Donald Trump returned to office in January 2025, he promised a new set of tariffs would fix the damage caused by his own 2017 tax cuts. He said regular folks wouldn’t notice the extra charges on imported goods, American manufacturers would see a boom, and those millions in profits that used to flow to the national elite would finally go away. That’s not what […]

  9. I used to be a Loblaw shopper but stopped a number of years back due to a variety of reasons such as dropping the “Covid pay hike” as soon as they were able in spite of the ongoing pandemic. Dramatically increased product pricing for shareholder contentedness. Then reluctance to lower prices while competitors were (again, to a certain degree but better than Loblaws). Now this. It’s profits over ethics, again.

    I’ve been a vocal advocate for corporate ethics. I’ve worked in that world and so many do not operate according to the “corporate values”. I refuse to shop blindly and buy whatever from wherever. The last goods I’m willing to buy are from the US. I’ve been that way for almost 30 years. #ethics #CorporateProfits cbc.ca/news/investigates/lobla

  14. Economists Warn of Imbalance as Trump Cheers Stock Market Success

    by Winston Wendell Despite Trump's optimism about the US economy, there are growing concerns about the gap between main street and wall street. In recent months, the stock market has seen a three week long rise. This has put the S&P 500 close to a record high which Trump is quick to point out as proof of his economic genius, especially when it comes to those with retirement plans. But many would say that the market's success is misleading given the state of the economy for most […]
