Please share this,& help create a buzz. Flu season is back in NS. ERs are packed, hospitalizations are rising, and masking is back. Workers are told to stay home sick, but many have no paid sick days and cannot afford to stay home. We need legislated paid sick days now. #PaidSickDaysNow #nspoli

Overcrowded schools. No clear plan. The NDP’s @PaulWozney is right — Nova Scotians deserve an open, evidence-based process for building new schools. Families shouldn’t have to wait while gov’t plays catch-up. #nspoli #Education #NSNDP #PublicEducation

No one should have to choose between their health and their paycheque. Nova Scotia workers deserve 10 paid sick days now. It’s good for workers, families, and public health.
Workers before profits.

Canada Post doesn’t have a worker problem, it has a management problem.
Executives take home over $317 million a year while frontline postal workers are blamed for losses. We stand with CUPW members fighting to protect this 158-year old public service. #CUPW #novascotia #workers

The federal gov’t is willing to dismantle a public service, but refuses to tackle Canada Post’s bad management. While execs pocket bonuses, communities lose home delivery and are forced into community mailboxes. #CUPW

Canada Post isn’t broken because of workers; it’s broken because of runaway management. Instead of holding executives accountable, Ottawa looks the other way while service is cut and jobs are lost. #CUPW #canlab @cupw @CanadianLabour #workers #novascotia

The govt keeps blaming workers for Canada Post’s crisis instead of holding management to account. Mismanagement, failed projects & bloated executive bonuses are the problem, not postal workers who keep the mail moving. #cdnpoli #CUPW #canlab #novascotia #strike #workers
