Now this is what solidarity looks like!🧵 A huge thanks to @CUPEOntario H&S delegates for their love + support for Natalia, the 24-year old widow of Ryan Konkin who was killed in a workplace explosion in St. Catharines. The family is demanding a criminal investigation!

I emailed @JustinTrudeau, @MarcMillerVM, @R_Boissonnault, @MargJohnsonPCNB & Arlene Dunn in support of migrant fishery workers being kicked out for speaking up after they've been shut out from working and are starving. Join me! nwmd.io/s/twitter/ZBY8… #StatusForAll

I had a great conversation about union negotiations, governance and power, with Gordon Lafer and Adolph Reed on @classmatterspod classmatters.libsyn.com/ep-12-power-an…

This reinforces a key concept, good workers are also great leaders. Here, a really good educator is also a fine union leader. It's the respect from coworkers that determines informal or organic leadership among the ranks and awards like these often equate to organic leadership.

'Why do you have to make everything about race?' 'Because you made up race and forced us into hierarchies that affect everything.'

“reverse racism” - There’s no such thing. It either is or isn’t racism. Racism is not mere disagreement or dislike. It’s a belief in racial superiority resulting in a race exerting prejudice + power to cause destruction, dehumanization, discrimination & death for another race.

With so many important negotiations in the news, why not get a team of 10 together and learn the fundamentals of negotiations that lead to wins, even big wins, against union-busting law firms and the busters behind them? June 7-14-21 (reg closing soon): tinyurl.com/3ps4wcew
