✊🏻✊🏻 **What do we do when our rights are under attack? We stand up and fight back!**

This afternoon, affiliates of the Sudbury & District Labour Council rallied outside MP Lapointe’s office to make our voices heard. Following the rally, our federally regulated affiliates and SDLC President delivered a letter signed by concerned workers opposing Section 107

Workers did not win the right to organize, bargain collectively, and strike overnight. These rights were fought for by generations of working people who understood that workers need a meaningful voice to achieve, fair wages, safe, working conditions, and dignity on the job.

We appreciate that MP Lapointe is always willing to meet with labour, and we’ll be meeting with her next week to discuss our concerns.

We’re calling on the federal government to protect the right to strike and work with organized labour to ensure that these changes strengthen workers rights rather than weaken them.

Join us today at 4pm ✊

One name is too many. Yesterday, the Sudbury labour movement added 28 names to the Leo Gerard Memorial Wall. These 28 workers and their families will forever be changed from the horrible tragedy of workplace fatalities and occupational disease. Thank you to all the loved ones who joined us and remembrance. If there's one thing brother Gerard taught us is to "Mourn the Dead, and Fight like Hell for the Living" ✊
