A pivotal figure in the labour movement, McGuire co-founded the Carpenters' Union and advocated for the eight-hour workday. His proposal for Labour Day in 1882 created a lasting tribute to workers' contributions.

Labour Day honours the labour movement's achievements in securing workers' rights. This day commemorates the contributions of unions and advocates who fought tirelessly for fair wages, reasonable working hours, and safe working conditions.

Did you know? Labour Day’s traces back to the late 19th century when workers fought for better standards. Thanks to their efforts, we have regulations like the 8-hour workday and minimum wage.

The labour landscape of the 1880s was vastly different. 700 UBC members joined 1,100 workers in Toronto, fighting for a 9hr workday and a raise from 22.5 to 25 cents/hr. By 1919, our unity in the Winnipeg General Strike shaped workers' rights.

Happy Labour Day from Local 2041! Today, we celebrate the hard work & dedication of the amazing workers who build the foundations of our communities. Together, we’re not just constructing buildings we’re constructing a better future. Here’s to all of you who make it possible.

A powerful reminder that through hard work and determination, we can overcome any challenge. This Labour Day, let’s honour the relentless spirit of workers, unions, and activists everywhere who turned their efforts into progress and dreams into reality.

What would work be like if unions didn’t exist? Without them, job security, reasonable hours, and basic workplace safety might be far less certain. Share your thoughts!

🇨🇦 Lest We Forget 🇨🇦 Today, we pause to honour and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage and dedication laid the foundation for the freedoms we enjoy today.
