Happy Labour Day. Enjoy the day off. It’s union-made.

Liquor worker starting wage - $14.91

MBLL profits - $600M

They can afford fair and reasonable increases for workers

Time for Heather Stefanson and Andrew Smith to get out of the way and let us negotiate a fair deal.

'It’s upon Heather Stefanson and (her) government to say, ‘Okay, we want to give these workers a fair deal. This could end tonight with the stroke of a pen or one phone call… but we’re not seeing that.' Heather Stefanson Andrew Smith

Bea Bruske, CLC President Pierre Trudeau Fellow parents, please take action!

Spoke w/ @PMTrudeau about the Ford govt’s unprecedented use of the Notwithstanding Clause. The federal govt must intervene w/ the Disallowance Clause to stop Ford from taking a sledgehammer to workers’ rights. These actions demand a strong response. #StandWithCUPE #onlab #canlab

Starting in October, Manitoba will have the lowest minimum wage in Canada.

If we can beat Saskatchewan when it comes to @cfl football then surely we can beat them when it comes to minimum wage!

Statement from WLC President Melissa Dvorak on today’s demonstration and the convoy protests:

Over the past few weeks, Canadians have witnessed protests that have espoused hatred, racism, and violence.

Nello Altomare (nello4transcona on Threads) @PCcaucus MB Teachers' Society Ability to pay is a disingenuous way of getting someone else to decide how much taxpayers will tolerate

The entire @PCcaucus just voted yes to Bill 45.

Bill 45 has a clause that stipulates arbitrators must take into account the employer’s ability to pay when handing down decisions.

I know MB Teachers' Society will remember this odious piece of legislation in 2023. #MBED #mbpoli

The truth is Heather, you didn’t actually add 60 nurses to the ICU, you MOVED 60 nurses from other places and in doing so, you left another gaping hole in our system. The duct tape is coming off one way or another. The frontlines see the fault lines and the truth is coming out.

'Hallway medicine' has now advanced to 'Highway medicine'. The only reason for this is Pallister's gutting of the Manitoba Healthcare system and his poor decision making and leadership through this 3rd wave. 1/2

Congratulations!

Teachers & school staff deserve a fair deal.

Let them bargain freely & in good faith without the PC cabinet’s wage freeze

37/38 why is Winnipeg Teachers' Association still waiting. Feeling so undervalued, feeling disrespected, feeling unappreciated. We deserve a contract as much as the other divisions. Do the right thing Winnipeg School Div
