#solidarity with workers and the unions who are united in pushing back against the governments attack on workers right to strike! Canada should be moving AWAY from US style governance.. so..why IS Jobs Minister Hajdu importing U.S. style labour policies into Canada #FixIt my letter to the Minister
This is a transformational moment for workers’ rights in Canada.

I stand in solidarity with workers and the unions who are united in pushing back against the governments attack on workers right to strike! 

I have written to Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu to directly request repealing section 107 of the labour code rather than enhancing it in favour of corporations over workers 
through bill C-39.

At a time when Canada is supposed to be moving AWAY from U.S.style politics, why IS Jobs Minister Hajdu importing U.S. style labour policies into our Labour Code? 

We should be strengthening Canadian workers’ rights not attacking them.

The rumour is the Liberal  government will limit parliamentary debate and will force a vote next week on bill C39 to limit public scrutiny. That is not democracy or what Canadians voted for.  

Now is the time to act…Contact Minister Hajdu (email in comments). Speak up and stand with workers who are on the front lines of pushing back against corporate greed. 

The charter right to fair bargaining including the right to strike are worth defending. #Solidarity #stopC-39

I stand in Solidarity with Unions and workers across Canada who are standing up against Bill C39 and the changes to the Labour Code. The attack on workers rights by Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu is NOT “Elbows Up.” It’s a slap in the face to workers and their families across Canada.

Canada airports run under not-for-profit model. They r safer and passenger-focused b/c financial surplus is mandated to be reinvested into maintenance, safety, and labour rather than paid out to private shareholders.

It is past time for governments to address the reality of climate change and to do more to protect people. The costs of not being proactive are astronomical.

Nobody should have to work for free! Today I met with the WestJet Flight Attendants at the Vancouver strike centre to show my solidarity and let them know they are not alone. If a strike happens I will be there standing shoulder to shoulder! #UnpaidWorkWontFly #WestJey #FlightAttendants

Governing is about choices and values….. and ……this Liberal government is making it clear that it does not care about Canadians living with disabilities, many of whom live in legislated poverty. This is wrong and could be corrected in minutes by Minister Hajdu. It’s time to fix this debacle.

The fight for justice continues. An excellent oped from Inclusion Canada in the comments section! The Liberals are handing out billions to mega wealthy oil and gas companies but continues to punch down on Canadians Living With Disabilities! This is wrong and needs to be corrected immediately!

I stand in solidarity with Flight Attendants and indeed ALL workers! Last summer Striking Air Canada Flight attendants changed history and the fight is not over to end Unpaid Work in the airline industry AND ensure the Liberals end their abusive use of section 107 of the labour code.

I stand in solidarity with workers. PM Carney is attacking workers rights to fair bargaining. Last summer they intervened against flight attendants and now they are looking at changes to the 🇨🇦 Labour Code that unions warn could weaken the Charter protected right to bargain and strike for all workers

Interesting that Mark Carney appointed a minister of AI but not one for persons with disabilities or labour. It seems he has no interest in the reality of human beings.

PM Mark Carney disregards the environment. This generation and the next deserve better than a new West Coast oil pipeline. The Liberal Government’s focus is regressive. Fossil fuel expansion that already proves to produce catastrophic results. I will always stand up for our environment!

At the Canada Labour Council Convention in Winnipeg, unions delivered a united message to PM Carney and Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu: pass NDP MP Leah Gazan’s Bill C-247 and end the use of Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code, which undermines workers’ rights to fair bargaining.

I agree with NDP MP Don Davies and don’t buy these excuses BC local MPs Zoe Royer and Ron McKinnon, are over seven months late and have not complied as of today. MPs are required by law to provide their conflict of interest ethics disclosure within 60 days after the final election results

If your values are up for negotiation then you don’t actually have #Values That time I questioned the previous PM on protecting the right to choose from the Con agenda. PM Carney has welcomed floor crossing MP’s like MP Gladu who have pushed a Conservative agenda to restrict people’s rights.

Most Canadians appreciate the critical funding announcements by the Carney liberals…. What most Canadians miss is when the same funding announcements get cut when no one is watching. Why is It that the most vulnerable always pay the highest cost when Carney Cuts.

The Mark Carney Liberals are no friend to the environment and NOW it’s our community that is paying a price. Today we hear there is another hit to Port Moody - Coquitlam with the Liberals cutting 15% of programs in the DFO. This will directly impact our local hatcheries like Mossom and Noons Creek

The Liberals are underfunding healthcare! I brought this to their attention in the last parliament From the college of physicians………6.5 million Canadians are without a family doctor. Family physicians provide over half of all medical services but receive just 6% of health funding.

Nailed it- studying unpaid work is like asking if the sky is blue…..ask any Flight Attendant living it every day. Then the Liberal MP let the truth slip: they don’t believe Flight Attendants should be paid for every hour worked and want to keep using Section 107 to force workers back on the job.

Right out of the Trump/Bannon playbook PM Carney floods the zone pushing a pipeline and lifting of the tanker ban that will never happen… but… slipping through the lifting of the emissions cap and expanding the TMX pipeline in our backyard that requires the dredging of Burrard Inlet. Very Dangerous!
