Workers' rights yet again are getting torn up and workers are going to suffer. The race to the bottom is happening in front of our eyes and politicians are allowing it to happen. These actions by governments are not an exception it's the rule and workers need to push back!

While we work tirelessly for a world that doesn't need food banks, the EDLC is always in our community helping out. Last night, the Mâmawâyâwin Committee (formerly Community Connections) led a team to support those in need and help create comradery during this difficult time.

Next week school support workers are going on strike. They have had enough of the constant disrespect and undervaluing their work from the provincial government. Join them on a line near you and stand up for public educations and decent working conditions for Albertans!

We have been running a picket pantry for striking workers for 2 months now. Workers go on strike when they see no other option, they're being starved out! CUPE education workers are entering the 3rd week of strike and need it now more than ever. For info: edmontonlabour.ca/picket-pantry/

We are happy to report that Nurse Next Door has taken decisive action to end this practice and make a public apology. Education Support staff must be paid fairly for the work they do. If the province agrees they can return to work providing the support our students need.

Over the past 3 months we have distributed $12,000 worth of food to striking workers. They are fighting back while their employers are trying to starve them out! The picket pantry is here to make sure that doesn't happen. Check the website for more info: edmontonlabour.ca/picket-pantry/

A huge shout out to the grade 1 students at Brander Gardens School who sold lollipops for $1 to support the picket pantry. With a lot of work they were able to raise $860 to help support their beloved Education Support Workers! Well done, Brander Gardens. The kids are alright..
