Nov 16, 2024 - Arms Embargo NOW!

When: November 16th

On November 16th, communities from coast-to-coast will mobilize at the sites of the Canadian companies who are profiting off of the production and maintenance of F-35 fighter jets. F-35s are the most advanced warplane used by the Israeli Air Force in what is already the most destructive bombing campaign of the twenty-first century. These warplanes are a key tool of death and destruction in Gaza and now Lebanon, responsible for dropping 2000lb bombs on residential buildings, hospitals, and refugee camps. And every F-35 used by Israel includes millions of dollars of parts made in Canada - this is unconscionable!

Nov 13, 2024 - Right to Strike Under Attack

When: November 13th, 7pm

Despite the Supreme Court of Canada's recognition that the right to strike is a fundamental Charter right, governments and employers continue to undermine workers' strike efforts through the use of replacement workers, back-to-work legislation, and other measures.

Perhaps even more troubling, some union leaders appear willing to relinquish the right to strike in favour of technocratic labour arbitration processes. Such developments raise the question, what is the future for the tactic that has long been heralded as workers' ultimate weapon?
