Happy May Day!
The history of International Workers’ Day dates back to the late 1800s when workers held general strikes & won the 8hr work day. More than 150 years later, workers are still fighting for dignity & respect. #CanLab

The more the richest 40,000 Canadians (top 0.1%) tantrum about having to declare 66.7% of their capital gains *above* $250K/yr (while the rest of us have to declare 100% of our humble labour income), the stronger these poll numbers are gonna become. Please carry on!! #cdnpoli

Solidarity! Union strong.

The richest 1.5% of taxfilers collect 61% of capital gains.

The Top 1.5%'s average capital gains are 101 times larger than for the bottom 98.5%.

We’re kicking off the day with big news: CFLPA is officially an affiliate of the CLC.🤝

People are pushed to their limits right now. While new tax measures, investments in housing & school food are welcome, today’s budget doesn’t go far enough to deliver affordability for working families.

Thank you to the federal government & Canada’s NDP’s for taking steps to pass the Sustainable Jobs Act. Siobhan Vipond joined United Steelworkers’s Marty Warren & IUOE’s Patrick Campbell to call on MPs to work together & get this worker-focused legislation passed. #FutureThatWorks

“Addictions care is health care, full stop. Albertans need to know that their mental health and addictions services are being delivered as part of our public health care system, not contracted out to the highest bidder.”

The gender pay gap drove Siobhan Vipond this week, starting with talking to Global News about a new report on mothers and mat leave and ending with participating in a UN panel. Wherever there is work being done to address equity at work, we're there.

Siobhan Vipond Cdn Health Coalition We’ve being sounding the alarm for year: We are facing a pan-Canadian health care crisis. Enough is enough. We need governments to act urgently and fix this crisis before it’s too late.

Friendly reminder about all these great events in Edmonton and Calgary! Edmonton Saturday, Calgary Saturday and Edmonton Sunday!

Make sure you show up! I'll be there Saturday!

We desperately need our government to be laser focused on a frontline workforce strategy to tackle the healthcare staffing crisis. Instead, we’re seeing the Premier pandering to transphobia, hate & division as a distraction from her record on healthcare. It’s absolutely shameful.

The labour movement has sought to make #pharmacare a reality for years. Canada's unions urge the Liberals to work with the NDP introduce legislation. The health of too many Canadians is being put at risk.
