A new @CCPAMB study shows 60,000 rental units in Manitoba approved for AGIs between 2019-21. Yutaka Dirks, Sr Policy Advisor at CCHR & spokesperson for @r2h_mb, says AGIs aren’t about recouping costs but increasing profit margins on the backs of tenants. cbc.ca/news/canada/ma…

New @CCPAMB report shows that #Manitoba tenants had their rents raised above the guideline while repair issues were ignored: "We're paying for buzzer systems... — stuff that we didn't order. Meanwhile, the apartment's flooding," #mbpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/ma…

“The CCPA calculates that by 10:54 a.m. on Jan. 2, the average CEO on the list had made $62,661 -- the average annual income for a Canadian worker.”

ICYMI: "Canada's 100 highest-paid CEOs earned $13.2 million on average in 2023 from salaries, bonuses and other compensation, according to the @ccpa. It was the third biggest year for CEO pay since the @ccpa began tracking the data in 2007." #inequality ctvnews.ca/business/who-a….

This year #Manitoba became the 3rd province in Canada to pass anti-scab legislation. Workers in Manitoba have been fighting for anti-scab legislation since the 1970s. In Manitoba the use of replacement workers made strikes twice as long, on average, over the last 6 years. #canlab
