Trump Orders Have Stripped Nearly Half a Million Federal Workers of Union Rights
The president, who has targeted collective bargaining contracts for nearly one million government employees, has said their functions touch on national security.

Ist die #CDU da Eurer Meinung nach eigentlich auf einem guten Weg? 🤔 🤓

Herr #Dobrindt was halten Sie denn davon die aktuelle Krise in der #Union dadurch zu beenden sich freiwillig aus der Politik zurück zu ziehen?

I stand in solidarity with Canada Post CUPW workers as they stand against the austerity measures of the Mark Carney government and every government before.
Canada Post must be reformed, expanded, and allowed to thrive as a public service. Home delivery is not the real reason the service is going bankrupt and it should not be the scapegoat!
Create a National Public Postal Bank!

Here is CUPW's fact sheet on Postal Banking “A Bank for Everyone”
Fun fact!
"our post office used to have a national savings bank – up until 1969 – and there is no reason we shouldn't have one today”
Some other reasons:
"Banks are failing to meet the needs of a growing number of Canadians. Thousands of towns and villages across our country do not have a bank. But many of them have a post office that could provide access to financial and banking services.”
"Postal banking is lucrative!
New Zealand: Kiwibank generated 81% of New Zealand Post's after tax profits.”
"France: Banque Postale has an obligation to provide products and services to as many people as possible. It provides a Livret A or passbook savings account, at no charge, to anyone who requests it. It also provides banking services to the financially vulnerable and financing for social housing, voluntary organizations and microentrepreneurs lacking bank credit.”
"Canada Post's secret postal banking study
Canada Post conducted a secret four-year study on postal banking that indicates that adding this service "would be a win-win strategy" for the corporation. This study was obtained though an Access to Information (ATI) request. Unfortunately, 701 of the study's 811 pages were redacted. CUPW has asked Canada Post's President to release the full report, but he has refused.”

So Carney tries to force AC employees back to work after less than 12 hours. Every day, he shows the Liberal Party has abandoned working people, and Carney is just the latest. Trudeau’s government didn’t care either.
“Steven Tufts, associate professor and labour geographer at York University, says Air Canada has become dependent on the federal government to solve its labour-relations issues.
He mentioned last year's dispute between the airline and the pilots' union. Air Canada asked for the government to be ready to step in before the two sides reached a tentative agreement in September 2024.”

Here is a “revolutionary idea”.
Let’s take a look at a bunch of male-dominated jobs where men are required to work more than 10-18 hours a day.
I am willing to bet that even on average they are better compensated, probably including overtime.
Now increase flight attendant compensation to be better than that.

“The airline's latest offer included a 38 per cent increase in total compensation, including benefits and pensions over four years, that it said "would have made our flight attendants the best compensated in Canada." “
Ya…. Because I am sure WestJet and ultra-budget Flair are so well compensated. 🙄
