My spouse just got over $2000 in retroactive pay on her paycheque. Her union got her more money this summer than the provincial government did.

If this keeps up for the second half of the year, it would bring in about $27,000, which is not a lot to live off. I know times are tough right now for a lot of people, but if you can afford to give something, please become a monthly supporter or even send in a one-time donation

Solidarity! ✊

Good thing that isn’t happening with capitalism.
