sdixonpollard.bsky.social @sdixonpollard.bsky.social · 20/03/2025Congratulations! @cupescfp.bsky.social local 3484 on a remarkable victory that seemed unattainable just weeks ago. These brave workers, who are predominantly women and whom I am proud to call my colleagues, have put everything on the line to fight for the rights of all of us and our students. 082

Reposted by @sdixonpollard.bsky.socialRyan Pollard @ryanpollard.ca · 08/03/2025Happy International Women’s Day, esp to CUPE members who have been striking for weeks now. It should be lost on no one that the locals on strike are about 97% women and the reason they need to fight for fairness is because society at large ascribes next to value to the kind of work women do. 053

They don’t want to be striking. They want to be in schools. But they’re standing up for what’s right and what’s fair. They deserve better than poverty wages. Enough is enough, Danielle. Step up. 49213
