Firing up auto #workers: ‘Can we #occupy the worksite like they did during the #Flint #SitDownStrike?’
“I’ve been told throughout this thing that we’ve set expectations too high. You’re damn right we have, because our members have high expectations, and record #profits deserve record contracts. As a #union, we have to lead the fight for economic justice—not just for ourselves but for the entire #WorkingClass.”

#Manitoba: Court upholds damages from #Conservative government's bad faith negotiations
Government concerned wage increase could set precedent for other public sector workers, such as #nurses, who were about to start talks. Government “told the university two things – we’re ordering you to take the offer off the table completely, and replace it with zero percent increase over one year, and two, you can’t tell the #union about it.”
