A full day of productive meetings with Newfoundland and Labrador MPs covering topics that included trade, infrastructure, post-secondary education, union training, apprenticeships, the value of public services, child care and how investing in workers builds Canada.

Very fortunate to be joined by amazing, knowledgeable, and passionate union activists from our province and across the country as part of the Canadian Labour Congress’ Lobby Days happening in Ottawa this week.

We must continue to keep the discussions going and the pressure on to ensure that worker’s voices are heard and acted upon by those in government.

From November 25 to December 10, Canada’s unions are taking part in the global call to end gender-based violence. Every worker deserves safety, dignity, and respect on the job.

This and , we’re calling for real change:

✅ Safer workplaces through the full implementation of ILO C-190, including protections against third-party violence.

✅ Stable funding, decent work, and real support for the frontline workers helping to end GBV every day.

Together, we rise!

With food prices up 3.4% over last year, many are struggling to afford life's basics. We need to tackle the cost-of-living crisis head-on by helping people fight for better wages, form unions, and access childcare, pharmacare, and affordable housing.

Trans rights are human rights and workers' rights. This truth is at the heart of our solidarity.

Today, on the Trans Day of Remembrance, we hold in our hearts the trans lives lost to violence and prejudice. In their memory, we stand with trans workers and communities, dedicated to creating a world where everyone can work and live safely, with dignity and respect.

In the face of rising hate, the NLFL is committed to working alongside our allies to defend and support our trans and gender-diverse community.

Remember. Mourn. Educate. Organize. Protect.

Our 85th Convention is in the books.

What an incredible three days of inspiring speakers, passionate debate, direct action, educational workshops, elections, and solidarity.

Congrats to our newly elected Executive Council, including Jessica McCormick who was re-elected as the President of our Federation for her second three-year term!

We leave this convention strong, united, and ready to fight for a province where workplace safety is guaranteed and no one is left behind.

Solidarity forever!

“USW Local 9316 president Glenn Nolan called the victim impact statements “very devastating,” adding that the families will grieve for a long time.

“This doesn't bring Shawn and injured workers back," he said. "We need to do better.”

“Ron Thomas of the United Steelworkers told reporters that they lobbied the previous Liberal government for years, and will now turn their focus to the newly minted Tory administration.

“We’re going to ask to meet with Premier Wakeham and to see if we can get this inquiry done, to make sure that this doesn’t happen again,” Thomas said.”

Our thoughts are with Shawn’s family, friends, and coworkers. We send them our solidarity and strength during this difficult time.

This tragedy is a stark reminder that we must work every single day to keep each other safe at work. Employers must do everything they can to make workers safe and be held accountable when they fall short, and government must enact stronger workplace safety laws to prevent a tragedy like this from ever happening again.

One life lost at work is one too many.
