Canadian Labour

Imagine thousands of workers uniting to fight against corporate greed and the politicians who fail us... Well, it's happening! Today, Canada's unions launch our new campaign, Workers Together: For a Better Deal. Make your voice heard: buff.ly/3MrxtBe

You don’t get to rewrite global agreements because you don’t like the outcome. A US-led move at #CSW is trying to twist what the Beijing Declaration actually says, and it’s a slippery slope. If this flies, nothing agreed at the UN is safe. #VoteNo✊

Labour workers are stronger, together. #CatholicTeachers thank @OFLabour President Laura Walton and @CanadianLabour Executive Vice-President Larry Rousseau for delivering rousing remarks on the power of solidarity!

✊✈️ When flight attendants at Air Canada were expected to work unpaid until cabin doors closed, unions fought back — demanding pay for every minute worked and fair treatment on the job. @CanadianLabour As CSW70 focuses on access to justice for women and girls, this shows how collective action and union solidarity can turn workplace injustice into real change. 🔗 Read more: ituc-csi.org/international-… #IWD2026 #CSW70 #AccessToJustice #WorkersRights @CSA_TUCA

Canadians are sending a message: enforce the Canada Health Act. Tell your MP and Health Minister Marjorie Michel to stop Alberta’s two-tier health care scheme and protect public Medicare. Take action ⬇️ dayofaction.healthcoalition.ca

Today is the Day of Action for Public Health Care. Alberta’s Bill 1, passed in Dec 2025, allows doctors to charge patients out-of-pocket for care covered by our public system, a clear violation of the Canada Health Act. Health care should be based on need, not ability to pay.

🎥 How are trade unions advancing women’s access to justice at work? In this conversation, Siobhan Vipond @CanadianLabour and Jotika Sharma @FijiTrades share how unions are driving change in very different contexts — from pay equity and flight attendants’ struggles in Canada to ratifying and implementing ILO Convention 190 in Fiji. Their discussion highlights the power of women’s leadership, collective bargaining, migrant worker protection and union education in advancing justice for women workers. As CSW70 focuses on access to justice for women and girls, these experiences show how unions turn rights into reality at work. 🎥 Watch the full interview: youtu.be/XmC6E2HT9jA #CSW70 #IWD2026 #AccessToJustice #TradeUnions #GenderEquality ✊👩‍🏭 @itucasiapacific @CSA_TUCA

Wildland firefighters face extreme hazards. They deserve protection that’s up to the job. Every worker has the right to safe work. #CanLab theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

Such an inspiring discussion today on women in leadership and the power of mentorship and solidarity. Thank you to the @FCM_online for creating space for women leaders from Canada and beyond to share experiences, break barriers and build stronger support networks. #CSW70

Every time a government uses these powers to bail out employers, it sends one clear message: workers’ rights are optional. Now it’s time to do the right thing. Stand with workers. Support @LeahGazan bill to repeal Section 107.

Safe work is a right. That’s why we’re calling for the Crown to uphold all the charges against Irving Shipyards after their guilty plea to a lesser charge in the death of a worker in 2024. #EnforceWestray #CanbLab cbc.ca/news/canada/no…

La justice de genre au travail ne s’est jamais gagnée seule. Les femmes syndiquées se sont organisées et battues pour chaque gain. Joignez-vous à nous le 11 mars pour discuter de la suite. RSVP: bit.ly/RISEUPCLC

Gender justice at work didn’t appear overnight. Union women organized, bargained, and fought for it. On March 11, hear from women across Canada’s labour movement about how we’re defending hard-won gains, and pushing the fight forward. RSVP: bit.ly/RISEUPCLC

Happy #IWD2026! @PresidentCLC is rising up for women’s economic justice. Women and gender-diverse workers are leading the fight for gender justice at work, from pay equity to ending violence and investing in the care economy. Read our full statement: canadianlabour.ca/rising-up-for-…

We're kicking off #IWD2026 weekend, with a message from @CLCVPSiobhan, who is rising up for the care economy. Care work, done largely by women, powers our communities and our economy. It’s Canada’s untapped economic superpower. Read our full op-ed: canadianlabour.ca/the-care-econo…

Les travailleurs iraniens, les syndicats indépendants et le peuple iranien peuvent compter sur l’appui indéfectible du CTC. Les travailleurs partout au monde méritent de vivre à l’abri de la peur, de la répression et de la violence. Déclaration complète : congresdutravail.ca/declaration-de…

@PresidentCLC @UFCWCanada @FTQnouvelles @TheActionNet The most powerful organizing tool isn’t paid ads, it’s trust. Digital strategists are discussing how movements can scale word-of-mouth organizing online using tools like SoSha. #ProgressSummit2026

@PresidentCLC @UFCWCanada @FTQnouvelles @TheActionNet Universal health care is a cornerstone of Canadian democracy. This fireside chat explored why repairing Medicare, and investing in public health care, must be part of Canada’s nation-building future. #ProgressSummit2026
