I stand with Kᴀᴛʀɪɴᴀ Cʜᴇɴ (陳葦蓁）, one of the most amazing + hardest working people I know. She's given so much of herself to all of us. And she's done all of it while in the shadow of gender-based violence. Take the time and space you need sister.

Glad to see our councillors making such thoughtful analysis of this laudable project that has been sited in the wrong location.

Today we celebrate the defence of our public health care system! Access to necessary medical care should be based on need, not on ability to pay. The BCGEU is a proud member of the BC Health Coalition who played a key role in this case & we thank everyone who worked tirelessly for this victory

ON STRIKE Treasury Board and CRA members are on strike effective tomorrow at 12:01 AM ET April 19. Please make plans to attend your closest picket line as early as you can: workerscantwait.ca

‼️PLEASE READ AND SHARE WIDELY‼️ If you are a RESEARCH ASSISTANT at Simon Fraser University, or know someone who might be one, I've got great news: RAs can sign their TSSU union card ONLINE NOW: 🚨RAcontractNOW.tssu.ca/sign🚨 (it takes just a few seconds)

Great to stand in solidarity beside workers from around the world who packed the convention centre plaza to demand ILWUCanada get a fair deal. As one speaker said, if the bosses won't bargain, then they're on the menu! This is a class war and we're going to win it✊

If the employer won't show up and meet our demands,TSSU is ready to put the bosses and their overpaid consultants on the menu!

It is with heavy hearts that our union mourns the loss of one of our BCGEU family who lost her life today fighting a wildfire outside of Revelstoke. Our hearts and thoughts go out to her family and community. bcgeu.ca/remembering_wi…

Absolutely, we need vacancy control in order to stop the ongoing 10%+ increases in rent. Places I looked at renting for under $1000 / month as university student now go for over $2600 / month. That's nearly a 200% increase in under 20 years. We need real rent control now!

A statement from NBPA VP Garrett Temple in support of TSSU.

Tonight, Burnaby council unanimously supported a motion calling on the Canadian government to support a ceasefire in Gaza. I have heard from people in the community who are pleading for elected officials from all levels to speak up and take a stand. Canada must act now.

Tuesday on the hill @sfu!!! Come see how they won the insourcing fight at SOAS in the UK and hear from our special guest, Kᴀᴛʀɪɴᴀ Cʜᴇɴ (陳葦蓁）. Together we can get @sfu to do the right thing and take responsibility for cleaning and food service workers on campus. ✊✊✊

These remarks from BC NDP minister Selina Robinson are unacceptable. To suggest that Palestine was a "crappy piece of land with nothing on it" is a false and colonial trope, erasing Palestinians to justify their dispossession. This is textbook anti-Palestinian racism. David Eby

This is shameful and a direct consquence of Simon Fraser University's failure to bring these workers in house. It's time for SFU to change course, end contracting out, and treat these workers fairly.

BREAKING: This is Rafah tonight. While all eyes are on the Met Gala, Israel has unleashed its most barbaric bombing of Rafah, massacring trapped civilians in the middle of the night. Don’t look away.

Great to see SEIU Local 2 members out talking about the major improvements the BC NDP has brought to their lives. Ending unfair tolls & msp premiums, upping minimum wage, sick days for all, and stopping bosses from taking away their union by flipping a contract. #bcpoli
