On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we remember the thousands of Indigenous children stolen from their families and those who never made it home, and honour the Survivors of Canada’s residential school system, a tool of cultural genocide against Indigenous Peoples.

Equal pay for equal work is a workplace right. Unions help make that possible by giving workers the collective power to negotiate for better wages, erase wage gaps, and push for pay equity. #InternationalEqualPayDay

Bestie, workers' rights are literally political.
Meme where a man in glasses looks at a butterfly and asks, "Is this a pigeon?" This version labels the butterfly as "minimum wage laws, labour laws, healthcare funding, privatization" and the man is saying, "is this...not political?"

Love this from the archives: 120 years ago today, there was a parade in Edmonton to celebrate Labour Day! We've always been a province of proud workers.
A black-and-white photo labelled Edmonton Labour Day, Sept 3, 1906. Shows a well-dressed crowd on either side of a dirt street. Small buildings also line the street, including one with a sign that says "Bar & Cafe." The crowd is watching a group of people march down the dirt road holding a banner.
