The 2020 BC Federation of Labour Convention gets underway officially on Wednesday and we'll be recapping the proceedings. Visit our website throughout Convention week for more. A recap of Sunday's Human Rights Forum is available now.

"It’s time to meet the challenge of openly bringing more marginalized workers into their memberships and leadership."

If you've got more than $20 million, the federal Liberals and Conservatives have your back. For the rest of us, not so much.

We are committed to always standing up for our members. We won't allow an employer to threaten our members' livelihoods just because they don't want to come negotiate a fair agreement.

Today, Canada is the only developed country with a public health care system that does not include prescription drug coverage. Canadians also pay among the highest pharmaceutical prices in the world"

"Workers' compensation systems in Canada are set up in a model that is similar to private insurance. Even if ... the injured worker is successful in proving their claim is valid, that process can take years, and it can be really stressful."

"We also know that when orders and fines are in place, it is racialized people and those living in poverty or homeless who are most often targeted."

The setting of clear standards in health care as a condition of federal funding is not an attack on provincial jurisdiction it is the only path forward to a universal public system of long-term and continuing care, the same path Canada took to universal hospital and physician care.

In contract to the BC NDP government who secured masks that exceeded Health Canada requirements, Manitoba's Conservative government gave expired masks to their healthcare workers.

Don't say history didn't warn us.

Preserving old boys club culture isn’t funny. Regardless of who is making the jokes or who they are directed towards, it’s not a laughing matter.

Wishing all of our members and their families a happy, healthy and safe Thanksgiving Day.

Disturbing. Disrespectful. Disgusting.

The BC Liberals' pledge won't bring car insurance prices down. In fact, as evidenced everywhere else, it's a threat to do the exact opposite.

Tell the candidates in running in your riding that we need a Future for All that includes affordable childcare, expanded universal healthcare, protection for gig-economy workers, and more.

If you haven't seen "I Walked The Line" yet, you're missing out! But you have a chance from October 15 to 25 at the Firehall Arts Centre.

The BC Liberals seem insistent on airing their dirty laundry, so here it is.

Here's what Statistics Canada says about car insurance premium rates from 1998 to 2019. Tells a much different story than the one the BC Liberals are trying to claim. Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and B.C. all have public insurance. Source: https://apps.mpi.mb.ca/Rate-Applicati/2021/GRA/2021_GRA.pdf
