Here is my report on the Convention, the election, and Chris Smalls. For Reference, Cori Longo ran without a rival, and Gil McGown beat Gregg Mady 60/40 split. I also speak about Chris Smalls and I included an echo track of his talk. Chris spoke to us about Amazon and the Labour Union he helped co-found. Whatever you think of him, it was important, and I think worth publicizing. I tried to increase the audio. Apologies but I do think it was worth playing. I sped up the entire episode (a tiny bit) if your wondering.

CUPE has joined with the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, the Canadian Labour Congress and other labour organizations to demand an end to the use of the notwithstanding clause of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The LabourStart report about union events. And singing: "Every Stitch." "Every Stitch" used with permission. RadioLabour is the international labour movement's radio service. It reports on labour union events around the world with a focus on unions in the developing world. It partners with rabble to provide coverage of news of interest to Canadian workers.  

In episode eight, we return to the George Brown College Labour Fair and a discussion with Ontario Federation of Labour president Laura Walton and chief steward and second vice president of OPSEU/SEFPO Local 556 Jeff Brown. We discuss the multiple issues facing the labour movement, union priorities and, in this age of polycrisis, what exactly we are working for. Speaking to the upcoming federal elections, Walton says: “I think we all can agree it's not going to be an NDP federal government. It's either gonna be Liberals or Conservatives. And I call them cancer and chemo; one's gonna kill you, the other one's gonna make you sick. We're going to be under, in Ontario, two governments that are not worker friendly, both federally and provincially. And it's going to be incumbent on workers to really embrace organizing principles … Now's not the time to be quiet. Now's the time that we're going to have to join our voices together to really push back." Reflecting on the how the trade war may impact already underfunded Ontario colleges, Brown says: “The colleges extend into so many fields in our province. Obviously healthcare, nursing community workers, but also things like all the skilled trades, forestry, aviation. I mean, these are the workers in communities that are the backbone of our economy … and the concern that being this underfunded, now with this trade war … the provincial government will use this as an excuse to further starve the system.” About today's guests:  Laura Walton is the president of the Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) Canada's largest provincial labour federation. Walton served as president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees' Ontario School Boards Council of Unions (OSBCU) starting in 2019. She also served on the CUPE Ontario Executive Board. With a firm belief in the equalizing power of inclusive public education, Walton led her 55,000 coworkers across Ontario to withdraw their labour for two days in November 2022 in protest of the Ford government using the notwithstanding clause to ram through legislation that imposed a contract on CUPE education workers. Previously she served as president of CUPE Local 1022 which represents the education workers of Hastings and Prince Edward County District School Board. Dr. Jeff Brown is an experienced educator, researcher, and labour activist.  He is a full-time professor in the Liberal Arts and Sciences department at George Brown College in Toronto and Chief Steward/2nd Vice-President of OPSEU Local 556, representing unionized faculty at George Brown.  He is also a member of the Ontario College Faculty Divisional Executive.

Greg Mady joined us at the start of the March General Meeting. Convention is this week. Maybe the education workers have a deal? Lots of news. I talk about the AFL and CUPE AB

Thousands of CUPE education workers in Alberta are standing up for the province's students. Many of the workers have not had a raise in ten years, work multiple jobs and rely on food banks to feed their families. RadioLabour is the international labour movement's radio service.

This is an audio version of the youtube video on the same topic. The Attendance Suport Program is advertised as a great program that recently was able to reduce the amount of hours to get on the program from 50 a quarter to 36 hours. Why does this matter? It matters because innocent absenteeism is a fancy way of saying we can't get the stuff we want from the culpable system. This system will help us with other programs and hopefully get people to work. The problem is the system is always correcting. The better employees, the less time you can miss to be on the program. We are at a point in time where one week off is more time than is required to bring in a note from a doctor. In S/A land this is a non-culpable claim where the program starts without any suspicion there would be an issue.  Not even thinking of the grieveances.

As Black History Month comes to a close, the On the Line podcast marks the occasion with a fascinating look back at the history of train sleeping car porters, almost all of whom were Black. It's a story that has only recently started to be told, and combines the history of Black employment in Canada, unionization and the fight for dignity and equality. On The Line examines those long-lost days mostly through the voice of Warren Williams, whose Uncle Lee was in the forefront of the drive to organize Sleeping Car Porters in Canada. Warren is the current President of CUPE Local 15 (Vancouver), one of the biggest CUPE locals in Canada. Listen to Warren's full interview here.

Greg Brady (@GregBradyTO) reacts to the Ford government introducing strict new rules for safe injection sites, including banning them within 200 metres of schools and child-care centres — a move that will force several existing sites to shut down permanently. We all see this issue differently – OF COURSE we don't want to see people struggle with addiction, of course we don't want people consuming tainted drugs.. but are safe sites the answer? Or is treatment and rehabilitation? We get your calls on Toronto Today. Next, Ontario's Labour Minister David Piccini.. The Minister had a confrontation with embattled CUPE President Fred Hahn. Hahn's been in the headlines as of late for his stance on the war in the middle east and for an antisemitic social media post – which he then gave a non-apology for – Piccini ran into Hahn at a conference in Ottawa Tuesday… and let Hahn know how he feels.

On Oct. 8, 2023, one day after the Hamas terror attack on Israel, Fred Hahn—the president of Ontario's chapter of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE)—wrote a tweet on his social media account: “I'm thankful for the power of workers, the power of resistance around the globe. Because #Resistance is fruitful and no matter what some might say, #Resistance brings progress, and for that, I'm thankful.” It was a controversial post, due to the timing, though Hahn denies he was referring to Oct. 7—even though the longtime labour leader has a history of pro-Palestinian activism, and CUPE Ontario has long come under fire for years for harbouring antisemitic sentiments. For Carrie Silverberg, it was the last straw. The Vaughan, Ont. woman–who is a CUPE member as required by her job in a public school board–decided to take Hahn, and the union to court. The education worker is the lead plaintiff in a human rights complaint filed with Ontario's Human Rights Tribunal. Her case was also joined by nearly 80 other union members. For years, Silverberg has fought to change her union's anti-Israel policies; it makes her sick that CUPE uses her mandatory membership dues to support anti-Israel boycotts, calls to renew UNRWA funding, and standing with the recent encampments on university grounds. On today's episode of The CJN Daily, Carrie Silverberg joins to explain why she's in for a long legal fight. What we talked about: Read more about CUPE Ontario's adoption of a pro-Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions policy in 2006, in The CJN Learn about the time a CUPE local at the University of Toronto hosted a speaker who had been ordered to be deported from Canada because of his ties to the PFLP terrorist organization, in The CJN CUPE members supported and participated in the U of T encampment in May, in The CJN.  **Credits: ** The CJN Daily is written and hosted by Ellin Bessner (@ebessner on Twitter).

Odessa Orlewicz joins us to chat about LIBRTI network, Talk Canada and what has been going on with BC in regards to corruption, Jab mandates, Unions, and how she saw what was happening and joined the fight. We chat about the hospital lie, funding for mandates, CUPE exposure, BC and Canadian politics, watching the MSM, Bonnie Henry's court case, MAID, drugs and OD's in BC, and MAID for jab injuries.   In the second half we get further into the OD's in BC, giving fentanyl and crack to kids without parents consent, Bonnie's history working around the world using kids as lab rats, our NWO saviours, what will happen when Conservatives get in. Darren rants about the sheep and guns, indigenous, X FBI Whistleblower, immigration, digital credits, parental pushback on the snuff producer and autistic kids, the independent media, and the current trans issues dragging the gays along.   Her mission is to bring truth to light.
