Tell your MP

From ERs to factory floors, workers power Canada's economy. But too many of us are struggling. It's time our politicians take real action on housing, jobs, & public services. share.canadianlabour.ca/s/HeADaH2s

Heavy-handed use of labour code has painted federal government into a corner, unions say | CBC News The federal government’s repeated use of the Canada Labour Code to force picketing employees back to work has undermined its ability to end strikes while setting it up for a fight with Canada’s labour...

Last day of school! BC teachers showed up every day despite underfunding & rising pressures. Now it’s time to rest. In September, we organize, mobilize & fight for the schools our students deserve. ✊ #bced #bctf #UnionStrong #ProtectPublicEducation

'Our future depends on it': Teachers, parents and students call for more education funding Teachers, parents and students from across the province gathered outside the B.C. Legislature Monday calling for increased funding to the education budget.

Thank you #bced parents for this important advocacy at the Legislature. Our students, your children, deserve better than the funding levels coming out of #bcpoli that are forcing districts to make cuts. cheknews.ca/our-future-d...

Today we honour the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexphobia, and Transphobia, #IDAHOBIT 🌈

Today and every day, #BCTF stands against hate and discrimination toward the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

Ending harassment and violence is a collective responsibility-unite against hate ✊🏽

Many students today are really struggling with anxiety and other mental health challenges. They need more support from #bcpoli. Children and youth deserve access to school counsellors when they need it and where they're at - which is at their own #bced school. youtu.be/F1IZzcCN8RQ?...

Today, we remember the workers who died, were injured or became ill as a result of their job.Β 

Everyone has a right to come home at the end of the day.

We will continue to work toward that goal in partnership with workers, the labour movement and employers.
