The Department of Labor posts shit like this when the administration’s budget is going to kill over 1 million trade jobs
Everyone always talks about Batman and Superman…but this is my childhood hero❤️🛠️
For those interested in #CapeBreton’s labour history who missed it, Suzanne MacNeil (@esooze) & I co-authored a piece on the the history of William Davis Miners’ Memorial Day (“Davis Day”) last month on the 100th anniversary: SpringMag.ca/standing-the-g… #canlab #NSpoli #CBpoli #1u
Recent strike by union affiliates of Cape Breton Island Building & Construction Trades Council (more than 4,000 #CapeBreton construction and building trades workers) echoes militant trade union history of Cape Breton: SpringMag.ca/recent-constru… #canlab #NSpoli #CBpoli #1u #cdnpoli
I’ve said all along, they will inevitably blame those who opposed genocide just as Israel blames Palestinians for forcing them to starve them. “If only those protesting had done so in some better way that doesn’t exist then maybe we wouldn’t have been forced to support this!”
We have to let go of the idea that there is ever vindication or justice. The people who cheered this genocide along, who suppressed speech and brutalized protests, who sent weapons, who lied in news stories will never be held responsible and will never admit culpability.

Hulk Hogan Was a Racist, Liar, and Anti-Union Scab. Hogan ratted out Jesse “The Body” Ventura and others, telling Vince McMahon about a secret WWF unionization push led by @GovJVentura. TheNation.com/article/societ… #1u #canlab #unionmember #HulkHogan #WWF #WWE #scabs #UnionStrong
Hulk Hogan, writes Dave Zirin, was a “real American” alright: a real American scumbag. thenation.com/article/societ…
Good news that these workers are safe. A culture of safety and continuous improvement should be a focus in every workplace. #canlab thestar.com/news/canada/br…
Great reporting by @labornotes on building trades unionism under Trump. Building trades officers are split: some are pleading, some are protesting, and others are surrendering without a fight. Confront or Cave? Federal Pressure Splits the Building Trades shar.es/agAWNZ

I reviewed David Camfield’s latest book, “Red Flags: A Reckoning with Communism for the Future of the Left” (@FernPub, 2025) recently for @SpringMagCA: SpringMag.ca/red-flags-a-ne…

Hulk Hogan was a terrible anti-union scab and a racist. No need for tears or mourning. Organize your workplace instead. #1u #canlab #unionmember #HulkHogan #WWF #WWE #scabs #UnionStrong
Hulk Hogan is dead, huh? Unionize your workplace, brothers (and sisters, and siblings).
