Agriculture has long been one of Manitoba's deadliest sectors - and the fatality of a 66-year-old man on the job is not a number, but a life. Every worker in every sector must return home from the job alive. #EnforceWestray #canlab

The right to strike and collective bargaining give workers the power to fight for better wages and working conditions. As Parliament returns, employers are pushing for new limits on these rights. We need the government to stand with workers. United we stand!

Workers know challenges are ahead: tariffs, rising costs, and now a Labour Code review that could weaken the rights we've fought for. Meanwhile, corporations are celebrating record profits. Workers shouldn't be asked to give up their leverage to keep them growing.
