CUPE grieves the loss of life brought by the recent escalation of violence in Israel and Palestine. We are horrified by the Hamas attack on Israel and the retribution by the State of Israel on the people of Palestine, and condemn all acts of violence against innocent civilians. We recognize that many Canadians are terrified for their loved ones and we offer heartfelt condolences to all affected families and communities.
Unions can’t do anything for people they don’t represent. Especially when there’s been rampant union busting and propaganda leading to a massive drop in union memberships and solidarity actions.
They’ve been trying, but when people vote against unionization, there’s little they can do.
