Some great shots from Labour Day in Hamilton, Toronto, and Port Elgin. We love to see our members out in full force celebrating the many gains our union movement have won. Thanks to everyone who made it out and helped organize Society contingents. #unionproud

Happy #LabourDay to all the workers across Canada who power our economy and make our society run! It was an honour to march side by side today with thousands of workers in celebration of our united labour movement. Together, we've achieved so much to be proud of.

We had the privilege of participating in a fascinating roundtable, hosted by the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Canada, on global non-proliferation, nuclear disarmament, and cooperation on the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. Our nations have much to learn from each other.

On Aug. 25, MPPs from the Ontario NDP toured the Nuclear Waste Management Organization's Demonstration and Discovery Centre. Those on the tour learned about the incredible work that Society members do to ensure that nuclear waste is managed safely. Thanks for joining us!

Yesterday, I was very proud to participate in the announcement of a $35m federal government investment to support the installation of a second medical isotope production system (IPS) at Bruce Power’s CANDU Unit 6 reactor. Medical isotopes save lives! - Society President Rebecca Caron

Congratulations to AC flight attendants who have won a new collective agreement. They courageously defined the unconstitutional Section 107 order to return to work and successfully pressured Air Canada back to the negotiating table. This is what happens when workers come together in #solidarity!

We stand with Air Canada flight attendants. Please see the statement released today by Society President Rebecca Caron. "We know their fight for their constitutional rights is also a fight for the constitutional rights of our members." #solidarity www.thesociety.ca/flight_atten...

From Pres. Rebecca Caron: I had the privilege of joining flight attendants on the picket line at Pearson Airport last night, and I am inspired by their courage and resolve. To CUPE flight attendants: The labour movement is behind you. An attack on one is an attack on us all.

Air Canada Flight attendants work an avg. of 35 unpaid hours a month - they only get paid when the flight is in motion. These CUPE members are currently in bargaining, and they're calling on Air Canada to address this major issue. Tell the company that unpaid work is a true crime: unfaircanada.com

Good news the Caldwell First Nation. It will be an equity partner with Hydro One in the Chatham to Lakeshore Transmission Line. As Ontario moves forward with electrifying our energy sources, we must seek meaningful partnerships with Indigenous communities. www.newswire.ca/news-release...

See @canadianlabour.bsky.social statement on Carney's public service downsizing: "Slashing public services in the middle of an economic downturn will only make things worse. Adding 1000s more to the growing ranks of the unemployed will further weaken our economy." canadianlabour.ca/canadas-unio...

The Society was proud to welcome members of Saskatchewan's Official Opposition to tour Ontario's nuclear facilities as part of their energy sector consultations. It's great that they are looking at the successes of Ontario's emissions-free, unionized nuclear sector. www.ctvnews.ca/regina/video...

Across July, there have been heat warnings in effect across ON. Yesterday, Toronto reached 40 degrees with humidity. The @oflabour.bsky.social is calling on the provincial g't to amend the OHSA to provide more protections to workers facing heat stress. To learn more, visit: ofl.ca/action/the-h...

When 170 Society members showed up to the picket line of striking WSIB workers, CBC Toronto took notice. The Society is in #solidarity with @oceu1750.bsky.social members fighting for a fair contract, as the WSIB hands out billions of dollars in rebates to employers.

Today, Society members from Hydro One joined a solidarity rally in support of striking WSIB workers. We are calling on the Ford government and the WSIB to deliver fair wages, an end to U.S. outsourcing, and improvements to workplace health and safety. #solidarity with @oceu1750.bsky.social

June is National Indigenous History Month. This is an opportunity for us to reaffirm our commitment to supporting Indigenous self-determination and sovereignty. And we celebrate the vibrant and resilient heritage of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.

It's Pride month! In June, we cherish how gender and sexual diversity enriches our cultural fabric. And we take this time to reflect on how we still have a long way to go to achieve justice for all. We wish you a happy and uplifting Pride! Pride events: ofl.ca/event/2025-p....

Today we joined the provincial government as they announced its approval of the OPG's plan to start construction on the first of four small modular reactors in Darlington. The SMRs are critical to meeting Ontario's predicted electricity needs.

Mark Carney has been elected PM, & corporate lobbyists are quickly lining up to get their priorities on his agenda. @CanadianLabour is putting together an open letter to Carney that captures the voices of workers. Write a message to Carney: workerstogether.ca/message-carn...

We remember those who have lost their lives in workplace accidents, or suffered an illness or injury on the job. Workplace mortalities and injuries are still too common place. We all have a role to play in strengthening OH&S. Today we renew our commitment to this important work.

Yesterday at the Canadian Nuclear Association conference, Rebecca spoke about the pathway to securing a skilled energy workforce for the future. This means properly funding education & creating the conditions for women to participate fully in the sector. #affordablechildcare

2025 marks the 20th anniversary year of the Society's strike at Hydro One. Then-Hydro One CEO Tom Parkinson had underestimated the grit and determination of Hydro One workers to push back against two-tiered wages and benefits. Read about this historic victory! www.80yearsunited.ca/the_strike_t...

@canadianlabour.bsky.social has put together this great directory on union-made Canadian products and services. Take a look! canadianlabour.ca/buy-union/ #unionmade

Today we joined labour leaders across the country for a press conference hosted by @canadianlabour.bsky.social. We call on the federal govt, present and future, to direct any revenues from counter tariffs to support for impacted workers. #cndpoli

Today the ON government announced it would be raising the minimum wage to $17.60/hour in October. This just isn't enough to lift working people out of poverty. In 2024, a living wage in the GTA was $26.00/hour, according to the Ontario Living Wage Network. All workers deserve a living wage. #onpoli

The Society successfully bargained a just transition for workers during the phase-out of Ontario's coal generating stations. The seven "Rs" were negotiated: relocation, remediation, re-employment, re-training, retirement, redundancy payments, and reinvestment. www.80yearsunited.ca/transition_a...
