Happy Labour Day from the Grievous Angels. youtube.com/watch?v=DzE87B…

Happy Labour Day! Today is a celebration of the strength and power of workers. Especially when they come together in a union. I join all Toronto’s workers in celebrating wins in years past and in organizing for future success.

What a historic year for 🇨🇦 labour: Anti-scab law. Most strikes in over 2 decades. Historic contracts, from auto to groceries. Real wages rebounding fast, now higher than pre-COVID. Militance in all sectors, private and public. But big threats lie ahead. LFG. #canlab

Secretary-Treasurer Lily Chang is joined by thousands in Toronto! Today, we unite to make our voices heard and demand a better deal for all workers in Canada! #WorkersTogether #LabourDay

So happy to celebrate Labour Day in such good company at today’s @TorontoLabour Parade! This is a day to celebrate what workers win together: rights, fairness, and change. We’ve all been lifted up, and our city is a better place, because of worker power.

The beautiful TYR Labour Council banner crafted by Carol Conde and Karl Beveridge leads the Labour Day parade every year!

Truth. Just the facts, ma'am, as I documented in April thestar.com/business/opini… 6 operators facing a $500M class action lawsuit for gross negligence. 5 of them getting billions in renewed/expanded long term care contracts. (The 6th sold out)

I was in England just after the racist riots spread across the country. Here's what played out... newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/…

We're fighting for a fairer future so workers like Esther don’t have to struggle to make it halfway through the month. It's time for real change—because everyone deserves to thrive, not just survive. Text WORKERS to 55255 to get involved.

This is not a era for centerism, it’s a moment for bold, populist ideas. Maybe a free NDP can now lean into that space. nationalobserver.com/2024/09/06/opi…

Bill C372 outlawing false advertising by Big Oil/Gas comes to parliament this fall. And yet I am getting calls from "allies" whispering that my timing isn't "helpful." Jasper burned this summer. If this isn't the moment for challenging big oil when will our actions be helpful?
