Cuba has one of the highest literacy rates in the world, yet the USA with a literacy rate of ~79% wants to continue to oppress and choke the sovereign island nation? END THE EMBARGO, IT HAS NEVER WORKED. #cuba #EndTheEmbargo #freecuba
Who are the wealth creators? « it is the workers who create wealth, & their organized power that can bring capital accumulation to a grinding halt. » When things are bad, workers concessions needed; rewards never freely given. worthy read on Cape Breton construction strike by @tonytracy.ca #nspoli

Davis Day today marks 100 years since William Davis was killed by company police during a strike. We honour those who stood the gaff and sacrificed so much for labour and human rights. And we remain committed to better wages and worker protections, and ending scab labour in NS.
"...it's crucial to understand not just the tragic circumstances of Davis's death, but the broader militant tradition of Cape Breton's coal miners that continues to inspire today's labour organizers and union members in the region and across Canada." #DavisDay springmag.ca/standing-the...

Suzanne (@esooze.bsky.social) and I were absolutely delighted to be able to catch up in person tonight over dinner & drinks with our dear friend Leanne, fresh back in Canada from her most recent weeks in Havana, and on a very brief whirlwind visit here to Halifax before she heads home to Ontario.
What a fabulous sunny Saturday afternoon, spent with amazing friends and comrades (new and old), doing petitioning on Halifax street corners today while chatting with folks about Nova Scotia’s Justice for Workers (@j4fns.bsky.social • Justice4WorkersNS.ca) campaigns! #NSpoli #canlab #1u #cdnpoli
As my friend and comrade Mark (@fwmarkc.bsky.social) has said elsewhere: “There are no excuses for the Labour Board to delay a union’s certification. It should be very simple, if a majority of the workers indicate they want to join a union, they should be legally certified to do so.” #canlab #SEIU
