Gig-work delivery jobs are getting more dangerous | The-14

Delivery gig jobs promise flexibility but expose workers to danger. Weak labour rights, unsafe streets and algorithmic pressure put lives at risk globally now!

CBA Alberta Statement on the Use of the Notwithstanding Clause | CBA Alberta

The Alberta government has invoked the notwithstanding clause to order teachers back to work. The " Back to School Act " imposes a collective agreement on teachers and prohibits them from striking until August 31, 2028. By invoking the notwithstanding clause, this legislation will take effect even if it violates the rights protected by sections 2 and 7 through 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms . These rights include the right to freely associate, the right to peaceful assembly, the right to freedom of expression, and the right not to be deprived of life, liberty or security of the person.

URGENT – Stop Alberta's government from overriding the Charter of Rights

Alberta Premier Smith has used the Notwithstanding Clause to pass laws that erase rights and silence the courts.

If the B.C. government can afford to subsidize American fossil fuel billionaires, it can pay its workers enough for rent and groceries. https://www.bargainingbc.ca/public_service

@cbcnews For more than a decade #CanadaPost management have been driving the corporation into the ground and putting workers and the public at risk. This #Canadian corporation could easily work with employees to bolster the organization and support workers and citizens. Rather than privatizing or denying access to basic services, Canada Post could offer postal banking, passport services, federal govt navigation and information services, etc.

"For #Amazon’s #JeffBezos, this move isn’t just about crushing the Laval workers and their union; it’s a direct assault on the entire global working class. It marks a growing offensive by corporations and the capitalist class who are trying to put workers in their place with austerity measures and attacks on #labour organizing." https://breachmedia.ca/amazon-quitting-quebec-shock-and-awe-workers-worldwide/

Yep, "eight years ago the postal workers put forward Delivering Community Power, a comprehensive plan to transform #CanadaPost into a vibrant 21st century public service." But years of incompetent management are driving this essential service into the ground. https://breachmedia.ca/government-is-suppressing-postal-workers-it-should-be-learning-from-their-innovative-ideas/

Government is suppressing postal workers. It should be learning from their innovative ideas ⋆ The Breach

If the government listened to postal workers, they could be implementing win-win measures that create secure meaningful jobs as well as address the crises of affordability, isolation, and climate breakdown
