Back in Ottawa this week representing the #IBEW at the Canadian Labour Congress Canadian Council meeting today and upcoming Lobby Day tomorrow on Parliament Hill. #IBEW #canlab
Not sure there’s anybody better to be having a pint with to celebrate the transformational electricity progress in #Budget2023 than Russ Shewchuk, Int VP and head of IBEW Canada #cdnpoli Canadian Climate Institute
"We have a real opportunity to make sure we have a good energy mix in this country & have a plan going forward that includes workers." Matt Wayland talks about the work IBEW Canada is doing to ensure their workers are the best-trained as our economy shifts. #CLC2023 #CanLab

FACT CHECK Hydro Ottawa’s CEO says our safety concerns aren't valid. We take issue with this & some of his other recent statements. Hydro workers know too well what tragedies can occur when safety isn't taken seriously. A short thread. #safetyisnotspaghetti
1 Email or tweet Hydro Ottawa, Mark Sutcliffe or your City of Ottawa councillor that you support the people who, despite safety issues, having their wages frozen and being understaffed, have worked every major storm and power outage 2 Honk your horn when you see workers picketing
Since 2018, the # of Hydro Ottawa powerline techs has decreased from 115 to <70 today. With an aging power grid and more severe weather events, crews are stretched thin. City of Ottawa reliability rests on the expertise of #IBEW workers on #StrikeDay37. #safetyisserious #onstorm
As Labour Day approaches let's amplify the voices of all workers who dare to challenge injustice and rise to be catalysts for positive change. Port, hospitality workers, Metro, TVO, nurses, teachers, public service +more. Hydro Ottawa members on day 60 stand with you. #Respect
I’m honoured to be appointed by Ministers Seamus O'Regan Jr and Randy Boissonnault 🏳️🌈 to the Union-led advisory table & represent IBEW 🇨🇦 members and all workers across the country. #LetsGetToWork #IBEW #canlab IBEW Canada Canadian Labour CDN Building Trades
