KN: Political power is placing power on people & have them push for change. Economic & social rights should be a bi-partisan issue and recognized across the political spectrum. @AmnestyNow #Broadbent2022 #CanLab #CdnPoli

“We are not satisfied at all that the law is being enforced the way it was intended. Quite frankly, to me, it’s an embarrassment.” —@KenUSW, @SteelworkersCA national director bit.ly/3Hzs9HM

When we took over in 2017, BC had one of the lowest minimum wages in Canada.
Now it's the highest of any province.
And going forward, increases will be tied to the rate of inflation.
We’re making sure BC workers do not get left behind.

This means better job security for years to come and stronger retirement security too! #canlab
