Labour for Palestine calls on the CUPE National National Executive Board to reverse its call for CUPE Ontario President Fred Hahn’s resignation and urges them, and others within the labour movement, not to cave to zionist pressure. #StandWithFredHahn labourforpalestine.com/statements/sta…

BREAKING: Canada's largest railway has locked out its employees and halted all trains after Canadian National and its workers couldn't agree on a new contract before a 12:01 a.m. deadline. cp24.com/news/rail-shut…

PSA: Rail workers *are not* on strike. The rail companies have locked them out. So if you're asking why there's a rail disruption, that's why.

What if I told you it’s the rail companies who locked them out?

In two hours over 20k have sent emails in support of Fred Hahn to CUPE national board. CUPE National has grossly underestimated members' commitment to democracy and support for Palestine. actionnetwork.org/letters/stand-… #StandWithFredHahn

Truly one of the stupidest, worse researched opeds I have read in a while. Even quoted Milton Friedman, who supported the murderous Pinochet dictatorship (even meeting him as his regime tortured and killed trade unionists).

The Supreme Court has recognized collective bargaining as protected by the Constitution. I hope the Teamsters drag out as many challenges as possible to protect this right. Don't give an inch. If industry doesn't like it, they can tell the rail companies to offer a better deal.

Since he thinks Nazis were socialists because of their name, here are 7 other titles and phrases that must flummox Pierre Poilievre thebeaverton.com/2024/08/since-…

Trade unionists/community members sent over 100,000 emails defending Fred Hahn. He is on the right side of history, and we are on his side. You can send an email to the CUPE national leadership, finding themselves on the same side as Doug Ford, here: actionnetwork.org/letters/stand-…

By abandoning Pride, politicians and organizations are showing just how thin and transactional their support for rights are. They wouldn’t know solidarity unless their donations depended upon pretending to, I guess.

I'll never forget how a prof at Carleton U (who also worked for Public Safety Ca) refused to correct a classmate's claims to this horseshoe theory in class 🤮 It's a line that's v convenient for the anti-red establishment until the far-right starts labeling everyone a socialist

Please read the whole thread. Comms and propaganda can either uplift or destroy people’s movements. It’s why it’s so important to develop our own narratives to our own stories and make them authentic enough that can ppl ‘buy’ into (for lack of a better term).

The right wants to direct the lives of trans folks, leave workers to the depredations of capitalists, and cancel anyone who stands up for Palestine. Who wants to control whom?

Great thing re: Labour Council is connecting w/unions across sectors. We got the chance to show Sheet Metal Workers' & Roofers' Local 30 & their hall is SO amazing. My dad worked at a non-union furniture factory for years—no benefits, no severance when he got sick. He deserved better. All workers do.

Hideous. For almost 40 yrs we’ve known a list of 900 Nazi war criminals exists & have awaited its release. Many are likely largely from the Ukrainian Waffen SS. Groups trying to avoid embarrassment want it suppressed. Without truth there’s no justice. ottawacitizen.com/news/national/…

Toronto police attacked the students at the University of Toronto Asset Management office pushing them to the ground.

Full note here. It echoes similar comments from CUPE Ontario, which also recently backed Hahn as president, about undertaking training on antisemitism and anti-Palestinian racism. #onpoli

NEW: Statement from Fred Hahn about CUPE national message today that he will remain general VP of the Union. #onpoli
