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.

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...

🥵 Heat Warnings Issued Environment Canada has issued Heat Warnings for a large portion of the province. Learn more about the signs of heat stress, what your rights are, and more at our Heat Stress website - nlfl.nf.ca/campaigns/he... vocm.com/2025/08/08/2...

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! ✊🏼

🥵 Heat Warnings Issued Environment Canada has issued Heat Warnings for a large portion of the province. Learn more about the signs of heat stress, what your rights are, and more at our Heat Stress website - nlfl.nf.ca/campaigns/he... Please stay safe and cool.

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...

“The next few days look like they could be hot across the province with heat warnings in place for some regions. The Federation of Labour has launched a new campaign to address the issue of excessive heat in the workplace.” @ntvnewsnl.bsky.social ntv.ca/avoiding-the...

Today marks the 100th anniversary of Davis Day. Davis Day (William Davis Miners’ Memorial Day) honours the memory of William Davis, a coal miner who was killed during a strike by Nova Scotia’s miners against the British Empire Steel Corporation.

Thank you to Premier Hogan for the good discussion today on a host of issues important to workers in our province. We must all work together to position our province for success - ready to face challenges and build an economy where no one gets left behind. @govnl.bsky.social

Too many in our society are struggling to make ends meet. No matter how hard they work, far too many workers are struggling with the affordability crisis. This has a huge impact not only on individuals but our society as a whole. Learn more at the @policyalternatives.ca article below.

Honoured to deliver opening remarks and to join together with so many passionate and dedicated healthcare professionals and union activists at the Association of Allied Health Professionals (AAHP) Convention today in St. John’s. Let us never forget: healthcare works because of workers.

Great meeting today with Minister of Labour, Pam Parsons. We discussed a wide range of issues important to the labour movement in the province and agreed to work together to ensure worker’s voices and perspectives are front and centre.

On Injured Workers’ Day, Canada’s unions are demanding real action: safer workplaces, stronger protections, and a workers’ compensation system that puts injured workers first.

Hands off our post office Rally and BBQ in St. John’s today. Solidarity with our posties! ✊🏼

We were honoured to bring welcoming remarks to the NAPE Women’s Conference earlier today. “The women who came before us didn’t just believe in a better world. They made strides because they worked for it. And we must work for it too.” - NLFL President Jessica McCormick.

Keep employees in their place with this one weird trick. Workers hate it! financialpost.com/fp-work/cana...

Wishing this worker a full and speedy recovery following this workplace accident. Safety must always come first. Let this incident reinforce the need for proper safeguards, vigilance, training, and accountability. vocm.com/2025/05/28/w...

There was a lot of pomp and circumstance surrounding the speech from the throne yesterday, but the speech itself provides a glimpse into the direction the newly elected federal govt. “Fiscal restraint” was one of the key elements. The @policyalternatives.ca analysis is below.

Come show your support for our public postal service and the hard-working and dedicated postal workers that make this vital service a reality. May 31 11 - 1 St. John’s and Corner Brook All are welcome! @cupwsttp.bsky.social

These cuts not only impact workers but also harm our communities and the people across the country who depend on vital public services. In the face of tariff threats and global economic uncertainty, now is the time to invest in strong public services—not weaken them.

Solidarity with @cupwsttp.bsky.social workers who are fighting for good jobs and a strong public postal service that serves all Canadians. vocm.com/2025/05/20/p...

May 17 is the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia – a day to take action and build awareness of the rights of 2SLGBTQIA+ people. We stand in solidarity with 2SLGBTQIA+ workers and community members and commit to using our collective power to confront hate.

“We can’t allow [interprovincial free trade] to be a Trojan Horse for deregulation and weakening protections that unions have long fought for on behalf of our members,” McCormick said. nbmediacoop.org/2025/05/13/i...
