Ned YeungThis boils my blood. I don't know the US labour history, but I do know how hard public sector workers in Canada and Alberta had to fight to gain collective bargaining rights, which they were not allowed because they were "civil servants".All public worker strikes were wildcat strikes and illegal until 1967 when Federal workers gained the right to collective bargaining through the Public Service Staff Relations Act which took 2 years to pass through Parliament after the wildcat Postal Workers Strike of 1965.Federal government employees responded by joining unions in record numbers.Public sector workers in Alberta did not gain these rights until 2016, when the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that ALL Canadian workers have the fundamental right to strike, essential to even the playing field between workers and employers.That hasn't even been 10 years ago, that our Provincial healthcare workers, education workers, social workers, wildlife workers, custodial workers, and many more have had access to such basic fundamental rights to legal collective job action! You may not have realized that all these strikes you are seeing now are history in the making!We are living out a struggle for the right of the working-class to SURVIVE.It breaks my heart to see our fallen comrades losing this fight with such desperation to the south, and makes me fearful of the coming storm we will have to face in Canada as our populist shadow government pushes to put us down in Canada.<a href="https://beige.party/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#union</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/unionstrong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unionstrong</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cdnpoli</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/abpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#abpoli</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uspol</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/strike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#strike</a>

Ned YeungFlorida has proposed a repeal of child labor laws in order to get teens to fill the low-paid positions filled by all the immigrants Trump has deported. Rather than providing a living wage, they need to legalize another form of labor exploitation, bringing back one that was mostly eradicated in 1938.Now would be a good time to mention that one of the very first acts of the UCP when they were first elected under Kenney, was to repeal the minimum wage for youth workers, because the NDP's single-tier minimum took away their cheap labour exploitation.That groundbreaking NDP minimum wage has now become the lowest in Canada, because the UCP has refused to raise it once throughout their entire two terms.Alberta workers will always remain at rock bottom so long as we vote Conservative.<a href="https://www.floridapolicy.org/posts/fast-facts-hb-1225-and-sb-918-would-further-erode-child-labor-protections-in-florida" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.floridapolicy.org/posts/fast-facts-hb-1225-and-sb-918-would-further-erode-child-labor-protections-in-florida</a><a href="https://beige.party/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uspol</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/abpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#abpoli</a>

GGAlberta premier, Danielle Smith, is in Florida on the 'Quisling 2025' tour with Ben Shapiro. He calls us a "silly little country that can be annexed like Puerto Rico and that Canadians will welcome Trump like a "liberator." On the upside, she is doing a fantastic job of sinking her buddy Pierre's campaign. 👏👏-MP Charlie Angus <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/poilievre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poilievre</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/mapleMAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mapleMAGA</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cdnpoli</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#canada</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/elxn45" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#elxn45</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/abpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#abpoli</a>

Ned YeungI'm honestly quite disappointed in our Canadian government (and I don't think this is Mark Carney's fault, but the government as a whole) for setting an election date of April 28th, our national Day of Mourning for fallen workers. This is an important day for labour, and especially after the missteps of the Minister of Labour during last year's rail workers and postal workers strikes in issuing back-to-work orders which took away our collective bargaining rights, this move feels like a slap in the face.Note the Government of Canada logo on the below. This is not a day which that same government should be ignorant of!Of course it's worth mentioning that we're lucky we didn't have a Conservative government which would have done a lot worse, but I feel like the Liberals really need to take back support from the labour movement and the working-class, and this is NOT the way to do it.Loosing too much support to the NDP (the most labour-supportive party we have) over matters like this could lead to a Conservative upset in the election, and that would be the most harmful thing for working-class Canadians. We need a united front without wedges to split us up.<a href="https://beige.party/tags/cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cdnpoli</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/abpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#abpoli</a>
