Attending @cityofwinnipeg City Council meeting today to hear discussions about the opportunity for #Winnipeg to become a #LivingWage employer. A great presentation by Gord Delbridge @cupe500 on lifting workers up! I hope my Councillor John Orlikow is supportive of living wage!

Manitobans want to see workers be treated w/ respect. Employers used replacement workers (scabs) in 4 out of the last 5 strikes in Manitoba - across all Unions. “Manitobans need the protection of MB labour laws so that workers have a fair chance to get ahead”
