We are the national voice of 13 Component unions whose 425,000 members deliver services of every kind to the citizens in their home provinces.
The Canadian government cancelled the Digital Services Tax, a move that costs Canadians at least $3B a year. This isn't tax policy. It's a gift to billionaires, while our health care, housing, and climate goals go underfunded. We need tax fairness. nupge.ca/2025/scrapping…
We were proud to join today's @OntarioHealthC rally in Huntsville during the Council of the Federation. Together, we're sending a strong message: protect and strengthen public healthcare, no privatization!
