We will continue to advocate for a living wage in New Brunswick!

ALT An orange megaphone is making this announcement: Important message about the minimum wage: The minimum wage will increase from $14.75 to $15.30 an hour next April 1, 2024. This increase is based on the 2023 New Brunswick Consumer Price Index (3.6%). A reminder that this minimum wage is still not a living wage in New Brunswick. The Common Front logo is located at the top right corner.

Let's break down the rhetoric of a 'humanitarian pause.' We need a full, unequivocal ceasefire because a ‘humanitarian pause’ in Gaza is only window-dressing to continue butchery, writes @DBrabblerouser @springmagca.

7,028 dead in a little over two weeks. Hospitals bombed. Safe passage routes targeted. Churches and mosques in rubble. This is genocide and @JustinTrudeau is complicit. Full, unequivocal, unconditional #ceasefireInGazaNOW

watching Palestinians whose Twitter accounts I have followed for years - both regular citizens and journalists - go from posts of desperation about the current hell in Gaza to silence and then the announcement of their deaths is a modern horror I don't really have the words for

When Israel drops bombs on hospitals in Gaza, the Canadian state supports it.
When we as Canadians stay silent, we send the message that we support our governments actions.
#FreePalestine is the only anti-war position.

One of the three massive plants that @UAW is striking right now makes Jeeps.
For years, Jeep has relied on an army of “temp” workers who make half the rate of their “full-time” coworkers for the same job. They work 70-hour weeks with no sick days.
So workers have walked out.

DYK flight attendants for Air Canada don't get paid when the plane isn't moving? On average workers don't get paid 35 hrs per month. This is why Sunday's accident in Mtl was particularly harmful;as FAs were helping passengers, they were doing it for free. cupe.ca/montreal-tarmac-fire…
