Check out the latest Commons podcast episode about the formation of a video game workers union in Canada
canadaland.com/podcast/work-…
The video game industry, like much of the tech, has been resistant to unionization for a very long time.
This is the story of Canada’s first-ever video game union. And the lengths that the industry went to try to stop it in its tracks.

The rise in international students from Punjab has been framed, by most media outlets and political parties, as a housing issue.
They’re missing the point.
This is a story about the creation of a new, racialized underclass.

Earla Phillips is a leader in a growing movement of gig workers who are trying to reclaim the basic labour rights that have been stripped from them.
But what she didn’t anticipate was that one of the biggest obstacles in her path would be a labour union.

Mandalena Lewis is one of far too many flight attendants who have been harassed or assaulted on the job. And her story is just one example of a culture of sexism and abuse that she alleges pervades the airline industry.

Zakaria Amara is one of the most infamous Canadian convicts of the last few decades.
We asked him about the many years of his incarceration.
About the possibility of rehabilitation. And what role imprisonment and prison labour played in that.

Prison labour is largely invisible in Canada.
And not only do Canadian prisoners work for for-profit businesses, but they’re sometimes doing the most dangerous and nauseating work around.

@LawAsaf and I had a chance to speak to @COMMONSpod about prison labour. Prison administrators argue that work programs are a key part of rehabilitation--but how does excluding people from basic labour and health & safety rights advance their rehabilitation? #canlab #canpoli
All labour exists on a spectrum, ranging from enslavement at one pole, to fully, freely given on the other.
And, in Canada, at the most extreme end of that spectrum are prison labourers.
