Pink Shirt Day is an important reminder that bullying and harassment have no place in our workplaces. Today the BCGEU’s Public Service Bargaining Committee members are wearing pink to show their ongoing commitment to ensuring all workers have safe, inclusive, and supportive workplaces.
Unions play a critical role in combating workplace bullying and harassment. Through collective bargaining, unions can secure anti-harassment protections, enforce workplace rights, and hold employers accountable for fostering respectful workplaces.

Now that it’s all over, one of my favourite #COP28 moments: hearing these powerful women and close allies of @CANRacCanada give 🔥 observer statements for IPO, ENGO and TUNGO at the closing plenary.
Love and admiration to @Saroonie @TasneemEssop @DJPohl!

Message of the Global trade union movement on #COP28: "Parties are sending the world a clear message—we are dangerously far behind. There is an enormous amount of work to do. AND, we still haven’t committed to actually doing it, the how is not clear."😡 #Union4JustTransition🧵1/4

📢#COP28 Joy Hernandez speaks at People's Plenary:
🗣️No #JustTransition without labour rights. In a climate where workers are under attack & unionists imprisoned and killed, we don't want climate policies to become another front on the attacks against workers' rights

You know #COP28 is on the precipice of delivering an historic outcome that will change the game in the global transition away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy and energy efficiency when Opec starts to panic.
💥Opec oil cartel is *very* worried about the prospect of #COP28 deciding to back a fossil fuel phase out, according to leaked letters seen by the Guardian

I had promised Minister @s_guilbeault an #EmissionsCap 🧢 if he delivered a policy framework at #COP28. I'm a woman of my word.

Heads up folks! Avoid Hwy 1 if you can. You don’t want to get trapped and can’t come back. It’s best to just stay at home if you can.

Canada goes to the polls Monday.
There's one party that stood up for working people in the pandemic.
One leader who has the courage to make the wealthy pay their fair share so everyone gets the medication they need.
That's why I support the @NDP and @theJagmeetSingh.
