#CUPE is outraged by the United States’ unlawful and lethal attack on the Bolivarian Republic of #Venezuela. We are shocked that the U.S. military bombed this sovereign nation, and abducted President Nicolás #Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores to gain access to the country’s oil, land and energy resources.
This is a clear violation of international law and the UN Charter.

Watch this! On Friday, #Toronto #CUPE activist, and #Palestine solidarity activist Tynan Liebert was convicted of "being a party to an assault" at a demonstration in front of a fundraising shindig for Canadian Deputy PM Freeland
In this slomo video you can see clearly that the conviction was bullshit.
This has dangerous ramifications for striking workers on picket lines.

From @ricochet_en :
"Ten thousand flight attendants walked off the job at Air Canada, and for a day, the country glimpsed what it looks like when ordinary people defy both their employer and their government. The wildcat strike was illegal. It was also profoundly Canadian".

Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu and the rest of the Carney government are profoundly anti-worker. And where has the NDP been while this has been going on?
“But the use of Section 107 strips unions of their power to reach a fair deal at the table, McGowan said. He said without the threat of a strike, employers have no motivation to bargain in good faith. ’The only power that workers have is to withdraw their labour,’ he said. ’If you take that away from them, the workers have no real leverage.’ He joins the Canada Labour Congress in calling for Prime Minister Mark Carney to cease the use of Section 107 to end strikes and cut it from the labour code when Parliament resumes. ’By giving the minister the unilateral right to break strikes and send workers back to work against their will, the minister and the government are making a mockery of the collective bargaining process,’ McGowan said.”

With the recent #AirCanada - #CUPE dispute, I've been studying Section 107 which allows the minister to direct the labour board "to maintain or secure industrial peace".
Baffling that the minister somehow thought a back to work order would secure "labour peace". Like, the good little workers will just do as their told and return to work.

Air Canada Flight Attendants expose flaw in Canadian labour law, AND teach Canadian government about negotiation.
By refusing and defying the federal illegal back to work order, Flight Attendants have signed a Tentative Agreement with Air Canada.
I hope their lesson in Canadian labour law has taught not just the Carney government but all future Canadian and Provincial governments, workers are tired of you breaking the constitution to harm workers.

Hundreds of Air Canada flight attendants, led by CUPE, struck over unpaid ground work and wages, halting most flights and disrupting 100,000+ passengers daily. The union rejects the airline’s partial pay raise offer; businesses urge federal arbitration to end the standstill. For deeper insights, see Carlos Osorio and Kyaw Soe Oo's report. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/15/air-canada-flight-attendant-strike-looms.html #AirCanada #CUPE #strike #airlineindustry #wagedispute #Canada #laborrelations #traveldisruption

The last contracts barely went over the inflation rate over the term and didn't even make up the difference of inflation that had been lost over the previous 20 YEARS.
ie. It didn't even touch the cost of living since the pandemic.
And now the BC Government thinks it's going to go back to lower-than-inflation raises with 0.5% and 1%?
Not gonna fly. More people than ever are living paycheque to paycheque.

Statement from Mandy Lamoureux regarding the #schoolbookban - #CUPE Alberta https://alberta.cupe.ca/2025/05/26/statement-from-mandy-lamoureux-regarding-the-schoolbook-ban/ “The problems in #Albertaeducation today stem from underfunded schools. Today’s announcement is a transparent attempt to distract from funding issues with dubious culture wars.
The government should talk to parents, who will tell them book censorship does nothing to solve the real issues students face.”

This is a powerful news conference from front line workers who help people in supervised consumption sites. I used to be a support worker in first stage transitional housing (housing for homeless people). So, I found this quite emotional to watch.

Ol' Higgsy Baby hates #unions as much as he hates the #french. He's found another way for him and his pals to take more workers money by stealing their pensions, forcing them into high-risk schemes made to profit the #elite.
#Higgs rammed through legislation that illegally subverts signed #union contracts.
#CUPE is threatening illegal strikes in response.
I stand with CUPE! All power to all people!

As a non #PSAC public sector worker I have to admit I'm a bit demoralized by the current offer and how none of us can ever catch up with inflation apparently. It's not even on the table. Even though my union #CUPE is still in the middle of negotiations the figures are even lower and the way it's set up they can not even ask for a higher amount unless all BC public sector workers go on a general strike.
