CUPW supports and stands in solidarity with CUPE education workers on strike today. If we don’t come together now, we can expect the Ford government to keep attacking our labour and human rights. We'll be on the picket lines and invite others to join #IStandWithCUPE

. @susan_p_riley told listeners on #SundayScrum this morning that Letter Carriers make $41 an hour! That's pretty far out of line. The top rate for LCs in the contract that expired this year is $26.60 #factcheck

In 2018, the @JustinTrudeau government took away postal workers rights. Today, his government denies Port of Montreal workers their rights. Friends of labour don’t undermine negotiations with back to work legislation. Period. CUPW stands in solidarity with CUPE 375. #canlab
