"It's hard to go wrong if you start and end with a recognition that working people are the engine of the economy and the heart of all of our communities." — New ep just dropped of Left East to West with @susibcfed.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDCz... #BCLab

Thanks for joining us @susibcfed.bsky.social

@susibcfed.bsky.social joined picketers from @iamunioncanada.bsky.social yesterday in the first day of their strike against Wexxar Bel Packaging. They're fighting for benefits, seniority, job security and wages. #BCLab

"Women in the labour movement have always pushed for better — from safer jobs and fair wages to universal childcare and pay equity. And we’re not done yet. "Today we celebrate the progress we have made and recommit to the work ahead. When women rise, we all rise." — @susibcfed.bsky.social

BIG NEWS: The BC government is DOUBLING its trades-training investment over the next three years! As @susibcfed.bsky.social said, "It’s exactly what we need right now. This is how you build a strong, resilient economy: by investing in the workers who make it run." bcfed.ca/news/release... #BCLab

@susibcfed.bsky.social testified at the House of Commons Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities this morning about BC Ferries' decision to build its next 4 major ferries in China. Her message: "Buy BC" should mean projects that should be built here instead. #BCLab 🧵

What a turnout in support of @bcgeu.bsky.social and @pea.org workers! @susibcfed.bsky.social and Hermender joined leaders from a wide range of unions along with members and supporters at this solidarity news conference. (1/2) #BCLab #solidarity #UnionStrong

This is going to be an amazing, inspiring afternoon. Join @susibcfed.bsky.social at 3 pm on Oct. 5 on SFU's Surrey Campus as we look at the extraordinary protests that united farmers and unions — and forced the Modi government in India to back down.

Workers are the engine of our economy. Without us, nothing gets done: no services delivered, no products made, no resources processed. vancouversun.com/opinion/op-e...

Spending the day today with Union Leaders, Legislators and Climate Justice folks who are joining us in BC this week from NY. @nysaflcio.bsky.social @bcfed.bsky.social

BC Federation of Labour president Sussanne Skidmore said she’s proud of the CUPE flight attendants for doubling down on strike action. “The courage and resolve that they had to win this battle was pretty amazing,” she said. thetyee.ca/News/2025/08...

@susibcfed.bsky.social was at YVR bright and early to deliver the message: BC's unions are 100% behind @cupescfp.bsky.social Air Canada flight attendants! And our message to Ottawa: Respect their Charter rights and LET THEM BARGAIN! #BCLab #CanLab

Today we rallied with CUPE workers to demand fairness for Air Canada flight attendants. ✈️ Workers deserve a collective agreement — not Section 107 interference. This is a working-class fight against corporate greed. ✊ One day longer, one day stronger. #canlab

Reminder that the strike is about a women-dominated workforce doing unpaid labour while executives get huge bonuses. Carney's Liberals are exactly who we warned they were. www.ctvnews.ca/business/art...

It is a worker’s right to fair collective bargaining! We know the best deals are made at the table! Workers use this tool as a last resort when the employer won’t engage in the process!

Amazing energy tonight supporting @cupenat AC Component at YVR!!! Proud to support with @bcfed officers tonight✊ Picket lines go up at 6am in YVR if you are anywhere near the airport stop in show some #solidarity to this amazing crew of workers ! #unpaidworkwontfly #canlab

A really solid piece from @isaacphannay.bsky.social in @thetyee.ca today! As @susibcfed.bsky.social warns, "The govt needs to act on this quickly to make sure that we’re protecting workers and jobs. It really won’t take long before this impacts every level of our economy." thetyee.ca/News/2025/07...

Thank you to everyone who made this year's Summer Institute for Union Women possible. Safe travels home. And in these difficult and dangerous times, solidarity, love and hope to all.

"This week reminds us not just to settle for what other people tell us we can get. But to organize for what we actually WANT. This week reminds us that we aren’t just stronger together — we’re unstoppable." — @susibcfed.bsky.social #BCLab #SIUW2025

With just 3 years to go in the BC government's $10-a-day child care plan, we need to be making a lot more progress. @susibcfed.bsky.social was proud to join the Coalition of Child Care Advocates to relaunch the #10aDay campaign this morning. www.10aday.ca/new_tools?sp... #BCLab #childcare

Today we gathered with union friends and family to send a strong message of solidarity to CUPW✊ I want you to know that we are 100% behind you. Whether it’s at the bargaining table, on the picket line, or pushing for the kind of postal service Canadians deserve. ✊

🏳️‍🌈As the first out queer president of the BC Federation of Labour, I am filled with both pride and responsibility this June. Pride Month is a time to celebrate the resilience, brilliance, and beauty of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities—but it is also a time to reflect on the work that remains.

Global demand for critical minerals and metals is increasing. In partnership with First Nations we will rise to seize this opportunity - protecting our land and water at the same time. Learn more: news.gov.bc.ca/32395

Today, we joined Randene Neill, Jagrup Brar and David Eby where the premier presented a vision for guiding British Columbia through difficult economic circumstances. As we face these challenging times, we must prioritize workers, as they are the backbone of our economy

“Conservatives have been cosplaying as pro-worker populists for as long as there have been conservatives,” she said. “But if you look at what they actually do in power, there’s only one honest conclusion to draw: they only work for big corporations and the wealthy. thetyee.ca/News/2025/04...
