At the Surrey Starbucks, a union certification application automatically led to an approval because of BC's new single-step certification law. It removes the opportunity for a company to pursue anti-union tactics, says @uswlunny . #bclab #bcpoli #canlab

Wave of unionization of Starbucks stores in the U.S. shows signs of making its way to Canada

Union organizers say they are seeing a growing frustration among Starbucks employees in Canada over wages and work hours not seen since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic

After the past 2 years, it's disappointing to see politicians from the right still demeaning public sector jobs. These workers keep highways clear, fight forest fires and floods, get vaccines into arms, and much, much more. #bcpoli #bclab

The BCFED is horrified to learn of the deadly Islamophobic hate crime against Muslim community members in London, Ontario. Our thoughts are with the Muslim community and the loved ones of the family whose lives were taken.

Sometimes solidarity looks like signing a union card or walking a picket line. And then sometimes it looks like this: hundreds of bags of food and gifts, assembled by union volunteers for needy families at this year's Labour Christmas Dinner. #bclab (Photo: @bersonphoto )

Until our leaders legislate paid sick leave for all, BC’s workers are at risk. When one person is forced to work sick, we all put our health on the line. Use your voice and help BC lead the country and create a legacy for years to come. 👉 #bcpoli
