I think #westjet just averted their own bankruptcy.
"#CUPE 8125, representing over 4,700 cabin crew members at WestJet and Encore, acknowledges WestJet’s decision to reverse the universally unpopular new 28-inch-pitch seat configuration. This pause follows significant concern from both employees and guests regarding the operational impacts and overall experience resulting from the denser cabin layout.

#CUPE is outraged by the United States’ unlawful and lethal attack on the Bolivarian Republic of #Venezuela. We are shocked that the U.S. military bombed this sovereign nation, and abducted President Nicolás #Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores to gain access to the country’s oil, land and energy resources.
This is a clear violation of international law and the UN Charter.

Oh this is so awesome!
"Negotiated gains include a compounded wage increase of at least 18.4% for 2024–2029."
That's almost 4%/year for 5 years.
Worker power!

3 years ago today, the CUPE Education Workers walked out in protest of Bill 28 - a Bill that imposed a contract on us and took away our right to strike using the notwithstanding clause. Other unions joined the fight and we got the Ford government to back down, repeal the Bill, and give us an actual negotiated collective agreement. All in 4 days. Solidarity works. Worker power when wielded works. But it takes courage and commitment. Let’s see what happens in 2026 when we have to go through bargaining all over again.

Following news of a third strike by #STM maintenance workers, the #Montreal #transit system’s bus drivers, metro operators and station attendants have announced strike dates of their own. The #CUPE Local 1983 #union says that the 4,500 STM workers they represent will go on #strike on Nov. 1, 15 and 16.

#CUPE: proposed wages wouldn’t even meet the federal minimum wage of $2,840/month for full-time work. #aircanadastrike

Looking back at my post now in the context of #CUPE #Union members' 99.1% rejection of the initial tentative deal https://rail.chat/@allen/115058199496777008
The news coming in that it was 50% wage for 100% work was totally off-base. Hopefully, more serious negotiations can happen this time, and a more fitting deal will be reached.
The government's 'eyebrow-raising' penchant for breaking up strikes met its match in the woman-dominated workforce .

Just catching up on how the #CanadaAir strike ended. I'm glad they stood their ground. This is actually inspiring. #CUPE #labor #union
Watch this! On Friday, #Toronto #CUPE activist, and #Palestine solidarity activist Tynan Liebert was convicted of "being a party to an assault" at a demonstration in front of a fundraising shindig for Canadian Deputy PM Freeland
In this slomo video you can see clearly that the conviction was bullshit.
This has dangerous ramifications for striking workers on picket lines.

It seems telling ShitLibs to fuck off and go on strike anyway when ordered back to work magically gets deals done:
