If we want MUN graduates to invest their education and skills in NL’s Health systems…maybe NL should invest in them @munfaculty.bsky.social #WeAreMUN #FundMUN

Without action by government in this year's budget the University cannot continue to meet its core responsibilities - it touches on everyone. Just today in the news - cuts to the number of social workers that can be trained here. The long term consequences are dire. My #WeAreMun take:

Our thoughts are with the worker, their family, and their coworkers. Wishing the injured worker a full and speedy recovery. Let’s all do our part to ensure everyone gets home safe at the end of the day. vocm.com/2026/03/24/r...

Today we remember Cougar Flight 491, those whose lives were lost, and the loved ones left to mourn. We reflect and we commit to fighting for safer working conditions for all.

News release: As the House of Assembly begins its legislative session, we are calling on the government to put workers and their families at the heart of its agenda. The full release Federation’s full provincial budget submission can be found here - nlfed.ca/federation-o...

On February 15, 1982, the Ocean Ranger disaster claimed the lives of all 84 crew members on board; leaving deep scars across our province. Today, we honour their memory and renew our fight for workplace safety, because no one should have to sacrifice their life to earn a living.

The provincial government must move quickly to finalize a Pharmacare deal. This is about ensuring that every Canadian, regardless of income or employment status, has access to the medication they need. vocm.com/2026/02/02/2...

Our thoughts are with the family, friends, and colleagues of the worker injured at Voisey’s Bay. We wish them a full and speedy recovery. Safety must always be our number one priority to ensure every worker returns home safely at the end of each day. vocm.com/2026/01/25/o...

Workers and their families are forced to make "tough decisions" on basics while while corporations and billionaires rake in massive profits. Another 4 - 6% increase in food prices will make it even tougher on people who are already struggling.

A big thank you to the workers braving the elements to restore power after last night's storm. Stay safe out there!

The rights to free and fair collective bargaining and to strike are under attack. Worker and their unions must stand united to protect these rights. pressprogress.ca/a-year-of-go...

Excellent meeting and discussion today with Premier Wakeham on a wide range of issues, including labour relations, occupational health and safety, trade, local benefits, and the importance of creating good jobs here at home.

Workers are already feeling the pinch. In response, wages need to keep pace with inflation, laws must make it easier to unionize, social supports have to reach those most at risk, and we must rein in profiteering by grocery giants. vocm.com/2025/12/07/2...

Today, we solemnly mark the anniversary of the misogynist attack at École Polytechnique in Montreal. On December 6, 1989, fourteen young women were murdered because they were women. We remember. We mourn. We act.

NLFL President Jessica McCormick will be a speaker at next week’s Centre for Future Work’s webinar on a just transition for workers. Register at the link below.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. (For the Fallen by Laurence Binyon)

Shame on the Alberta government for using legislation to strip workers of their right to strike and to free and fair collective bargaining. We stand in solidarity with the teachers and all workers who oppose these heavy- handed measures. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

MUN plays a crucial role in our province. It has a special obligation to the people of this province. That obligation can't be met without proper funding. We stand in solidarity with the students, faculty, and staff who are fighting to protect this vital institution. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

As election day in Newfoundland & Labrador approaches, labour leaders say provincial candidates aren’t addressing people’s “everyday troubles” #nlpoli #canlab theindependent.ca/news/lji/wor...

To be crystal clear: it's not about what the scientists "told CBC News", not just informed opinion. The science itself is very clear. You can question perhaps the degree of NL contribution to climate change, but it's fact that the oil from here is a contributor. Full stop. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Where do the parties stand on workers’ rights? Quick guide analysis below or check out the full election questionnaire report at: nlfed.ca/campaigns/wo...

The Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Labour (NLFL) today released its analysis of party responses to its 2025 Election Questionnaire, providing workers with a critical tool to inform their vote.  nlfed.ca/nl-federatio...

The advantages of unionization are obvious, so why don’t more workers join unions? Employer-led union suppression strategies are a key explanatory factor. theconversation.com/the-advantag... #canlab

Incredible show of solidarity and support for postal workers today. These workers are defending a vital public service and the right to fair collective bargaining for all. @cupwsttp.bsky.social

NLFL President Jessica McCormick is taking part in a provincial election panel on CBCNLs The Signal today at noon (island time). Hope you can tune in!

September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. On this day, we honour the survivors of Canada’s residential school system, remember the children who never returned home, and stand in solidarity with their families and communities.

NEWS RELEASE: Federation of Labour Outlines Workers’ Priorities for 2025 Provincial Election “The future of our province is on the ballot. Let’s all do our part to elect a government that works for workers.” nlfed.ca/news-release...

The election has been called - finally. For workers, this is a pivotal moment. We demand clear commitments and concrete plans from every party on how they will improve life for us, our families, and our communities. Let's unite and ensure our issues are front and centre in this election.

Wishing everyone a wonderful school year. A special thank you to all the workers in our K-12 and post-secondary systems for everything you do to provide the next generation with a top-quality education.

Incredible day of solidarity at the 107th Labour Day Parade in Grand Falls-Windsor. Here’s to many more. Never forget - it’s your labour that makes this province run. Today is your day. ✊🏼

🚨 2025 NL Labour Day Events 🚨 Marches, BBQs, family fun, and, of course, solidarity! All are welcome. St. John’s, Grand Falls-Windsor, Corner Brook and Lab West. Details in the second image below.

This Labour Day weekend, we celebrate workers and the vital contributions they make. Let's stand together to demand: better wages, good benefits, safer conditions, and stronger labour laws because everyone deserves a future where they can thrive, not just survive. Solidarity ✊

By invoking 107 of the Labour Code to force an end to this strike, the Liberals are trampling on flight attendants’ Charter rights and handed Air Canada exactly what it wanted. Crushing workers’ rights is not fairness, it is siding with corporate greed and betraying every worker in this country.

Shame on the Federal government for (once again) intervening in collective bargaining and trampling on workers’ rights.

The Federal government should do whatever it can to support workers affected by the wildfires in this province, including expanding/extending EI coverage as they have done in other jurisdictions. vocm.com/2025/08/15/2...

We extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and coworkers of this worker. We reaffirm our commitment to fighting for strong safety laws, safe workplaces, and accountability - because even one workplace death is one too many. vocm.com/2025/07/28/r...

It is long past time for the government of Newfoundland and Labrador to sign a Pharmacare deal. Tens of millions of dollars in funding sit on the table while far too many struggle to afford the medications they need. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

MUN is vital to our province’s social and economic well-being. Years of funding cuts has led to the weakening of our public university. Our government must invest in MUN and our future. We stand with faculty, staff, & students in demanding better. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Productive meeting with Premier Hogan at the Council of Federation today. We discussed workers’ priorities, including: ✅ Health & safety ✅ Strengthening public services ✅ Trade & tariffs Open dialogue is key to ensuring worker’s voices are heard.

Proud to take part in today’s Canadian Health Coalition Rally at the Council of the Federation. We’re calling on the federal govt and premiers to protect & improve universal, high-quality public healthcare and to stop the push toward privatization. Healthcare is a right! ✊🏼

NLFL President Jessica McCormick joined Fed of Labour Presidents from across Canada today in advance of Council of the Federation meetings. Labour is bringing a strong and united message to the Premiers this week - it’s time to put workers and their families first.

Worker’s labour built this country’s prosperity, and we can’t allow it to be sacrificed to appease a bully. Governments must stand up for Canadian workers and our communities. No backing down. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
