SEIU Local 2

📢 DAY 2 on the picket line in Port Alberni in Canada, and the message is loud and clear: This is about basic respect for years of hard work and dedication, from full-time to seasonal workers. One day longer, one day stronger.

The Nova Scotia government's abrupt termination of @OTChfx’s shelter contract left 60 unhoused people in limbo & 42 unionized @SEIUlocal2CAN members jobless. What comes next could shape housing justice direction in NS for years to come. SpringMag.ca/abandoned-by-t… #NSpoli #canlab

📢 DAY 2 of our strike in Port Alberni!! “We aren’t looking for anything crazy. Just some basic respect for the many years we’ve put in, including our seasonal people that are likewise committed to this Club.” ONE DAY LONGER ONE DAY STRONGER 💪💪

We LOVE to see it! Workers are organizing for dignity, respect, and fair pay. Proud to welcome these new union siblings to the fight!

On the heels of a breakthrough city-wide agreement by Toronto janitors in April, @SEIU members working for GDI in #Toronto have ratified a “me too” contract this weekend— winning the same gains and improved standards as their Union siblings covered by the city-wide agreement 🙌
