The Federal government has decided that the Post Office will no longer deliver mail to our homes. We will all have to get post boxes- either on the street or down town. No more letter carriers???

CUPW ON STRIKE!

September 15 is International Day of Democracy, and this year’s theme is ‘From Voice to Action’. As a democratic union, with leaders elected based on the will of the membership, democracy is always at the forefront of what we do. This year’s theme couldn’t be more fitting, as thousands of BCGEU members stand on picket lines across the province, fighting for the benefit of all workers. True democracy means workers have the right to input on their own political, economic, and social systems. Solidarity is democracy in action. Happy International Day of Democracy 2025.

The top 1% now owns more than $54 trillion in wealth.

That’s 468 times more than the bottom 50%.

One man — Elon Musk — owns more than the bottom half COMBINED.

This is what I mean when I talk about oligarchy.

The Union has been actively pressuring DFO for more openings for fishermen to pull in more fish. In doing so this will also increase the work for Shoreworkers!

The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, a day rooted in the tragic events of the Sharpeville Massacre in South Africa in 1960, when police shot and killed 69 anti-apartheid demonstrators.

This internationally-recognized day is a needed reminder of the ongoing fight against racism all over the world and the need for collective action to build a more just and equitable society for all people everywhere--regardless of skin colour.
