While workers struggle with soaring prices and Donald Trump’s trade war, it's clear from #Budget2025 that @mark-carney.bsky.social is fighting for boardrooms and billionaires, not working people. He will make life harder for millions of working Canadians to make life easier for Bay Street.

What a day in Vancouver, meeting so many folks face to face, standing shoulder to shoulder, and taking the mic to say what millions are feeling: Carney and the billionaires, enough is enough. We’re drawing the line for people, for peace, for the planet. #DrawtheLine

Tomorrow, I’ll be at the Vancouver Public Library to say loud and clear: it’s time to stop the profiteering and invest in the public services people count on. For people, for peace, for the planet — let’s draw the line ✊

✊✊✊

Canadian jobs & public services are under threat by Donald Trump’s economic sabotage. Now is not the time for PM Carney to pile on with massive cuts that will erode our vital public services and devastate our communities. cupe.ca/federal-budg...

Great turnout in Edmonton yesterday at the CUPE Alberta BBQ! Always inspiring to connect with members, share stories, and build solidarity together. Thanks to CUPE Alberta for hosting such a warm welcome.

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.

The era of airlines making billions off the unpaid labour of flight attendants is in its final days. Flight attendants are standing strong from coast to coast today to tell Air Canada loud and clear: unpaid work won't fly.

“Massacre after massacre is being livestreamed before us. Bombs being dropped on schools, civilian homes and hospitals, and children being dismembered and left ‘with no surviving family,’ is a daily occurrence,” reads the letter.

CUPE National President @markhancock.bsky.social has joined leaders of four other national unions in calling on Prime Minister Carney and Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand to take immediate action to end the genocide in Gaza. cupe.ca/cupe-calls-c...

Solidarity with Chris Smalls, a union leader who understands what it means to stand up for what's right. Starving children is not right. Assaulting human rights defenders is not right. For how long will our leaders turn their backs on the people of Palestine?

Charlottetown Water and Sewer workers are on strike for the first time in 60 years, fighting to protect their jobs and demand wages that reflect the essential work they do every day. They’re not backing down, and neither are we. CUPE stands shoulder to shoulder with them.

Good to be in Huntsville today to join labour leaders at the Council of the Federation. Met with Premiers David Eby and Wab Kinew to talk about defending workers against Trump's threats, and joined workers and advocates from across Canada for a rally to defend public health care.

Thanks to our fellow health care workers from the Ontario Nurses’ Association for standing in solidarity with CUPE 5525 members at Villa Colombo. cupe.ca/cupe-5525-me...

Workers who come together to form a union aren’t just standing up for themselves, they’re standing up for future generations too. That’s exactly what child care workers at John Ross Robertson Child Centre did, voting 90% to join CUPE despite pressure to say no. cupe.ca/bucking-anti...

Whether it’s dental care, services for Indigenous communities, climate action or public sector jobs – everything is on the chopping block except military spending. Not even Stephen Harper could dream of cuts this deep. Canadians didn't vote for this. cupe.ca/carneys-cuts...

CUPE members working at WSIB and Villa Colombo have something in common: 1) both their employers need to stop the delay tactics and get back to the bargaining table 2) they'll both have the full support of our national union until they get a fair deal! cupe.ca/national-cup...

CUPE joins the urgent call to @mark-carney.bsky.social & ‪@anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social ‪: Canada must act to stop the genocide in Gaza and end the war crimes and crimes against humanity in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

We commend the incredible effort of first responders and wildfire crews working to combat these wildfires and support the communities under threat. Our members are on the front lines, working tirelessly in health care centres and community facilities to support those in need. cupe.ca/cupe-calls-u...

CUPE National President Mark Hancock and Unifor National President Lana Payne met yesterday as the presidents of Canada's largest private and public sector unions. They emphasized the importance for governments to coordinate on procurement to support made-in-Canada manufacturing and workers.

Four years without a contract. No guaranteed hours. Unsafe conditions. Our CUPE 4354 members have had enough. A 100% strike mandate sends a clear message: respect home support workers now. They deserve stability, safety, and fair wages. cupe.ca/victoria-cou...

After a 987-day lockout, our members at the Port of Quebec are back on the job. Their employer tried to break their spirit and our government betrayed them more than once, but they never lost their determination. Let's hear it for these courageous workers! cupe.ca/returning-lo...

[email protected]'s decision to give labour a second-class seat at the cabinet table shows that workers matter even less than they did under Trudeau. In this pivotal moment for our country, workers should come first – not as an afterthought. cupe.ca/carneys-new-...

It was an honour to stand with CUPE 2073 on the line today. These workers support Deaf and hard of hearing people across Ontario and deserve respect. CUPE’s 750000 members stand with you. You are not alone. Together we will win. #solidarity

We need to make it easier for Canadians to trade with each other. But we won’t win the trade war with Donald Trump by tossing out protections for our water, our health, and our public services. That’s selling out the things we value most about living in Canada. cupe.ca/can-removing...

Proud to see CUPE 1936 members take part in the Shine a Light campaign to support early learning and child care workers. They do vital, skilled work that helps families and strengthens our communities. It’s time for real investment in the people who care for our kids.

Over 400 education workers in Northern Alberta just made a powerful move by voting to join CUPE 2559. These are the people who keep our schools running: EAs, clerical staff, cafeteria and library workers. After 130 layoffs, they knew it was time to stand together. cupe.ca/support-staf...

The murder of Walberto Quintero Medina is another example of the impunity with which trade unionists are killed in Colombia. CUPE stands in solidarity with workers fighting corporate power and state violence in Colombia and around the world.

CUPE wants to extend our heartfelt thanks to Jagmeet and the NDP for all they were able to achieve in the last Parliament. We look forward to working with the reduced but determined group of NDP MPs who are returning to fight for workers’ rights, public services, and a better future for everyone.

Today is our chance to make our voices heard. Let’s stand up for working people and elect leaders who will fight for our jobs, our rights, and our future. If you haven’t already, get out and vote!

Victory Bonds are back — and it’s about time. The NDP’s plan would raise nearly a billion a year to rebuild roads, bridges, transit, water systems. No privatization. No sell-offs. Just public dollars for public services. CUPE supports it. cupe.ca/ndp-proposes...

We know Poilievre would sell out public health care. But if you think Mark Carney wouldn't either, think again. Carney oversaw US-style profiteering in Australia that caused 6 million people to lose coverage. Think he won’t do the same here? cupe.ca/april-28-vot...

Earth Day is about action. Let’s lead the way—cut emissions, fight for environmental justice, and push employers to go green. CUPE members are ready. Let’s act now. #EarthDay2025 cupe.ca/event/earth-...

Canada is still recovering from the damage the Liberal austerity budgets of the mid-90s inflicted on health care, housing & EI. We need strong @ndp.ca representation in Parliament to protect our public services and our social safety net. My op-ed in the Hamilton Spec: www.thespec.com/opinion/cont...

When it comes to health care, @jagmeetsingh.ca gets it. CUPE members, especially our members in health care, know we need a leader who will strengthen public health care - not cut it like Mark Carney, or bring in US-style for-profit health care like Pierre Poilievre.

While CHS workers stretch every dollar to get by, CEO Julia Dumanian's salary has skyrocketed 178%. Frontline staff are falling 16% behind inflation—and burning out. Workers deserve respect. Not cuts, not revolving doors. Send a message: Stand with CHS workers. cupe.on.ca/chs/

CUPE represents 190,000 health care workers, including over 9,000 paramedics and first responders across Canada. We demand urgent action to end Israeli military attacks on Palestinian first responders and health care workers in Gaza, and to stop the ongoing genocide. cupe.ca/canada-must-...

Canada must do everything we can to protect Palestinian health care workers and all Palestinian people in Gaza. cupe.ca/canada-must-...

Enough is enough. When Canadian workers are under attack, we fight back—together. That’s why CUPE and Unifor, representing over a million workers, are standing shoulder to shoulder against the U.S. administration’s trade war and the failed economic policies that hurt working families.

Canadian workers are under attack. A 25% tariff on our auto industry—plus more threats to steel and aluminum—puts thousands of jobs at risk. CUPE stands with all workers affected by these reckless policies—our government must fight back.

Canada’s unions are demanding immediate action from the federal government. We need bold commitments to safeguard jobs, protect public services, and push back against these unfair attacks. Workers built this country. We won't let anyone tear it down. It’s time to fight back.

Pierre Poilievre made an announcement on pensions yesterday morning. Seems like a good time to remind folks that (even though he qualified for a pension worth $120K/year at age 31) he will do everything he can to make sure you can never retire with dignity. cupe.ca/pierre-poili...

Poilievre says he won’t raise the retirement age, but his party has already lied about raising the retirement age once before. They committed in their 2011 platform that they wouldn't cut pensions, then they went ahead and did it anyway. And they did it from Davos, Switzerland of all places.

"Now is the time to invest in social housing. We can create good jobs, support our domestic...form a more equitable and resilient country." [email protected], @markhancock.bsky.social and Catherine Lussier #cdnpoli www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

I see Poilievre made an announcement on pensions this morning. Seems like a good time to remind folks that (even though he qualified for a pension worth $120K/year at age 31) he will do everything he can to make sure you can never retire with dignity. cupe.ca/pierre-poili...

Housing is a human right - but more and more of us are struggling with skyrocketing rents, no matter where you live across Canada. Join CUPE’s call for housing solutions that focus on helping people - not real estate investors. cupe.ca/housing-time...

Amazing to be at the CUPE Alberta convention as we mark a huge win for education workers across this province. Premier Smith might have missed the memo about what happens when you pick a fight with CUPE. We never back down from a fight. When we fight, we win!

Today I wrote to our new prime minister Mark Carney to remind him that privatization is a race to the bottom. Selling our public infrastructure like airports and opening public services up for private-sector profit is exactly what Trump wants us to do. cupe.ca/cupe-calls-c...

Child care workers have some of the toughest - and most important - jobs out there. Add your voice to our call for the federal government to put up the funding needed to improve working conditions and hire the child care workforce that parents need and our kids deserve. cupe.ca/lets-shine-l...
