POD DROP! We’re joined by feminist and former union leader and politician Judy Darcy to talk about her recently-published memoir, Leading From The Heart. @judydarcy.bsky.social @douglasmcintyre.bsky.social @bcfed.bsky.social @cupescfp.bsky.social @heu-bc.bsky.social tiny.cc/3nuu001

The government is preparing to drop its first budget. As paycheques are stretched further & Trump’s tariffs cost jobs, workers couldn’t be clearer: It’s time to raise taxes on the wealthiest Canadians & biggest corporations – not cut services or put the squeeze on working people.

On October 28 we won a new Union agreement as Dexterra contract janitors at UBC Okanagan Campus residence! Our new contract has strong wage increases and many other wins. 🟪🧹🟨 1/2

GREAT news: Days after our solidarity picket with locked-out @unitehere40.bsky.social workers at Coast Victoria Hotel, the employer is BACK AT THE BARGAINING TABLE with them! Keep up the pressure! Let management know these workers deserve a fair wage. Send a letter right now: bcfed.ca/wsncvh #BCLab

For the past two days, labour leaders on the BCFED's Executive Council have been in Victoria to press for action from MLAs, cabinet ministers and Premier David Eby on working people's priorities. But we did more than just present a laundry list of lobbying demands. #BCLab #BCPoli

One big reason why labour history is so important: It's the antidote to the lies demagogues use to divide us with racism and hate (and to make it easier for them to pick us off one by one). Here are two terrific labour history stories from @dieworkwear.bsky.social #BCLab

Workers in communities across BC are fighting for a fair deal. Be sure to respect their picket lines and show your solidarity! #UnionStrong #BCLab #solidarity (1/3)

“Our members have shown incredible resolve,” said Melissa Moroz, Executive Director of the PEA. “By standing together for the value of their work and the services they provide to British Columbians, they have strengthened the collective voice of public service professionals across the province.”

Congratulations to @pea.org—both on today's news and on their rock-solid strength throughout this strike, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with @bcgeu.bsky.social workers. pea.org/news-program... #BCLab #Solidarity #FundTheFrontlines

@bcgeu.bsky.social workers stood strong and stood together in a long, tough fight—and we're so happy to be able to congratulate them on the tentative agreement announced this morning! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #BCLab #solidarity

This isn't a race we want to be winning. BC employers have the shameful distinction of being Canada's number one abusers of migrant workers. www.biv.com/news/economy... #BCLab (1/3)

Love to see this great #solidarity!!

Rustad absolutely hammered by the president of his own party in this open letter: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #BCPoli (1/4)

Aren't WE fancy.

Campuses closing, layoffs upon layoffs — post-secondary education in BC is in a funding crisis.

Check out this must-read piece from @thetyee.ca's @isaacphannay.bsky.social. It's about an approach that can remove many of the obstacles standing between some of BC's most vulnerable workers and their right to join a union: sectoral bargaining. 🧵 #BCLab

Nearly a decade of organizing in Vancouver's animation and VFX industries is transforming wages and working conditions for the workers behind shows like Star Trek: Lower Decks, even amid a historic slowdown in film and TV. I spoke to workers + organizers about it for @pressprogress.ca

Yesterday, on Parliament Hill, workers and allies stood with @cupw to demand fairness and respect. “We will be here until this fight is won, bringing our power to the streets. Workers together will never be defeated!” – @siobhanvipond.bsky.social #stopthecuts #canlab

In another timeline, we build ferries here. Create thousands of jobs. Bring in nearly 1/4 billion$ in tax revenue to improve services. This leaked report shows the path BC could have taken. It isn't too late for govts to change course — and invest in a long-term shipbuilding strategy for BC. #BCLab

On this day of atonement and reflection, we wish Jewish workers, friends, family and community members everywhere an easy and meaningful fast. G'mar Chatima Tovah.

@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 🧵
