Chip in to keep stories like these coming, during this election — and beyond. Stephen Harper has been Prime Minister for almost a decade. In that time, the system of protections that have been put in place by decades of advocacy by labour organizations and unions has been partly dismantled. “This government has been clear […]

Bigger, bigger, bigger. Better, right? We’ve lionized big, mega, huge-scale — businesses, institutions, organizations — over medium, small, and tiny. So much so, that for example, American legal and…

The goal of the labour movement is to advance the interests of workers everywhere. Nativist narratives about defending Canada could explain Pierre Poilievre’s popularity among some union members.

CUPE is calling out Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and businessman Kevin O'Leary for their efforts to sell out Canadian workers and sovereignty. Smith has been working hard to sabotage efforts to defend Canadian workers against Donald Trump's tariff threats. Meanwhile, Kevin O'Leary has been meeting at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate about making Canada effectively the 51st state through economic union with the U.S.

Canada’s unions are deeply alarmed by the U.S. administration’s threat to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian products. This is a direct attack on workers from both sides of the border, threatening good, unionized jobs in key sectors like manufacturing, mining, energy, and agriculture—jobs that form the backbone of our economy. These tariffs would create a devastating ripple effect, impacting families and entire communities. The stakes are immense: escalating costs of living, stagnant wages, and now the Trump tariff threats, putting workers’ livelihoods at risk. This is not just a trade issue; it is an economic and social emergency that...

Project 2025, a sprawling right-wing plan to provide policy and staffing to a future Republican president, proposes an extreme anti-worker agenda that would severely curtail unions’ ability to collectively bargain on behalf of their members and reverse gains organized labor has made in recent years. It would also weaken overtime regulations, give corporations wider latitude in misclassifying workers as independent contractors, and dismantle safety regulations that prohibit young people from working dangerous jobs. The initiative’s policy book, Mandate for Leadership, is an attempt to roll back New Deal-era, working class victories by allowing state-level exemptions from the National Labor Relations Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act, and by creating nonunion “employee involvement organizations” to undermine unions’ negotiating power. It additionally calls for sharp reductions in the budgets of the National Labor Relations Board and the Department of Labor and a freeze on new hires. Project 2025 is organized by The Heritage Foundation and includes more than 100 conservative groups on its advisory board, which have collectively received more than $55 million from groups tied to conservative megadonors Leonard Leo and Charles Koch. Leo has been pushing the Supreme Court to further erode the power of organized labor, and the Koch family has waged a war on unions for more than 60 years.

Project 2025 is a 920-page document offering a wide range of policy recommendations, including several bad ideas about unions and rolling back workplace protections that you should know about. The policy recommendations, put forward by mostly high-ranking former Trump administration officials, offer a look at the administration’s early priorities if President Trump were to be…
