Food retail profits set a records $6.3b in 2024, more than 2x pre-COVID norms. The profit margin (as % of revenue) has also doubled even as profits in other industries fell. So the @ndp.ca proposals to bring down food prices & profits are timely. My take: www.progressive-economics.ca/2025/03/yes-...

Congratulations to UFCW 1006A members working at Swiss Chalet locations across Ontario on achieving a new collective agreement with significant gains.
After a series of tough negotiations, members achieved better benefits, improved vacation entitlement, and more.

Shame
Collective bargaining is undermined when government puts its heavy hand on the scale in favour of employers.
Ordering workers back and saying it will lead to better contract negotiations is a joke.
But the only ones laughing are Amazon and Canada Post management.

Thank you to the postal workers who are still connecting our kids with Santa during their strike. If you’re in Toronto stop by their line at commissioners with a Santa letter and solidarity (& if you can, some hot beverages or treats for folks out in the cold)

Creating space for conspiracy theorists, bigots and literal Nazis to yell at and berate you is not a serious benchmark for diversity of thought
