This boils my blood. I don't know the US labour history, but I do know how hard public sector workers in Canada and Alberta had to fight to gain collective bargaining rights, which they were not allowed because they were "civil servants".

All public worker strikes were wildcat strikes and illegal until 1967 when Federal workers gained the right to collective bargaining through the Public Service Staff Relations Act which took 2 years to pass through Parliament after the wildcat Postal Workers Strike of 1965.

Federal government employees responded by joining unions in record numbers.

Public sector workers in Alberta did not gain these rights until 2016, when the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that ALL Canadian workers have the fundamental right to strike, essential to even the playing field between workers and employers.

That hasn't even been 10 years ago, that our Provincial healthcare workers, education workers, social workers, wildlife workers, custodial workers, and many more have had access to such basic fundamental rights to legal collective job action! You may not have realized that all these strikes you are seeing now are history in the making!

We are living out a struggle for the right of the working-class to SURVIVE.

It breaks my heart to see our fallen comrades losing this fight with such desperation to the south, and makes me fearful of the coming storm we will have to face in Canada as our populist shadow government pushes to put us down in Canada.

Trump's new Executive Order orders 30 federal agencies to trash union contracts now, sets up a framework to strip terminate union workers, mass firings, and bans current unions from handling worker grievance

I told every union worker I knew that backed Trump that this was going to be the outcome. That Trump and the GOP were against labor. But no, the immigrants that picks the fruits and waits the tables were "stealing their jobs."

The memo spells out steps agency chiefs and Trump Cabinet officers will use to destroy the unions on “national security” grounds. #Unions #unionstrong #USPol

In Trump's first term regarding unions, Trump White House aides, most from the Heritage Foundation, openly said “feds first, everyone else afterwards.”

Today is Equal Pay Day, a reminder that women still earn less than men for the same work. The gap is even wider for many women of color, who face systemic barriers to fair wages. Unions help close these gaps, but the fight isn't over. We need stronger laws, better enforcement, and more worker power. Equal pay is a worker's right. The more we stand together, the more we win. #EqualPayDay #UnionStrong

💪 Video game workers in North America now have an industry-wide union
@Engadget

「 There’s now an industry-wide union for video game workers in the US and Canada. The United Videogame Workers-CWA (UVW-CWA) has a mission to bring together "artists, writers, designers, QA testers, programmers, freelancers and beyond to build worker power irrespective of studio and current job status." 」
