Labour Day Message from CWA Canada President Martin O’Hanlon

Aug. 31, 2018

 Dear fellow CWA Canada members,

On this Labour Day weekend, please take a moment to think about how important the labour movement and a free press are for our society, and what you can do to help defend these vital pillars of democracy.

For well over a century, the labour movement has led the struggle to make life better for common people. It is thanks to unions that we have so much we often take for granted, from decent wages to the five-day workweek, pensions, health coverage — on and on. These gains, which built the middle class, spurred the economy, and strengthened our democracy, took decades to achieve and if we don’t keep up the struggle, we will lose them.

Sadly, in the age of Trump, both our union sisters and brothers and our media colleagues in the U.S. are under attack. In addition to gutting labour laws and social supports, Trump is stirring up anti-media sentiment with inflammatory and hateful rhetoric. It is not normal. It is dangerous. His language is that of a dictator, not of a democratic leader.

We are feeling the effects here in Canada as Trump emboldens not only right-wing radicals and others who despise unions and a free press, but even some politicians and their followers. We have seen a clear disdain for the press from Ontario’s new premier and his supporters who recently drowned out reporters’ questions at a public event by clapping over them. We must make it clear that such behaviour is not acceptable.

Democracy and freedom are fragile and precious — and they are under attack around the globe. More and more governments are cracking down on freedom of expression. Even formerly progressive countries like Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Turkey are now openly hostile to the media, and in the case of Turkey, hundreds of journalists are in jail.

At CWA Canada, we are standing on guard this Labour Day – and always – to defend quality jobs, quality journalism, a vibrant free press, and a strong independent labour movement.

This weekend, please stand with us and take a moment to think about what you can do to help.

 

In solidarity,

 

Martin O’Hanlon

CLC/UWCC Post-Secondary Scholarship/ Bourse d’études postsecondaires CTC/CUWC

Le français suit

To: Members of the CLC Canadian Council and Young Workers Advisory Committee

Greetings,

The Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) Young Workers Program and the United Way Centraide Canada (UWCC) are pleased to present the second annual CLC/UWCC Post-Secondary Scholarship.

The CLC and the UWCC are long-time partners in taking action to create prosperous, inclusive, diverse and respectful communities, safer workplaces, and a fairer Canada for working people. Last year, we created a post-secondary scholarship in recognition of the important opportunities college or university education can provide for young people.
Too often, these opportunities are out of reach for working-class people due to ever-increasing tuition fees.

This $2,500 scholarship is offered in recognition of the efforts and commitment of young workers across Canada who have demonstrated a commitment to positively impacting social and workplace issues in their community.

Please circulate this call for applications to help ensure this scholarship is widely shared.

The deadline for receipt of applications is Friday, June 1, 2018.

Please see the application form for eligibility criteria: www.canadianlabour.ca/scholarship.

In solidarity,

Hassan Yussuff
President

Destinataires : Membres du Conseil canadien et du Comité consultatif des jeunes travailleurs et travailleuses

Bonjour,

Le programme des jeunes travailleurs et travailleuses du Congrès du travail du Canada (CTC) et Centraide United Way Canada (CUWC) sont heureux de présenter pour la deuxième année la bourse d’études postsecondaires CTC/CUWC.

Le CTC et CUWC, en partenariat depuis longue date, prennent des mesures pour créer des communautés prospères, inclusives, diversifiées et respectueuses, des lieux de travail plus sûrs et un Canada plus équitable pour les travailleurs et travailleuses. L’année dernière, nous avons créé une bourse d’études postsecondaires pour reconnaître les débouchés importants qu’offrent aux jeunes les études universitaires. Trop souvent, ces débouchés sont hors de portée pour la classe ouvrière en raison des frais de scolarité qui augmentent continuellement.

Cette bourse d’études de 2 500 $ est remise en reconnaissance des efforts et du dévouement des jeunes travailleurs et travailleuses partout au Canada dont l’engagement s’est répercuté de manière positive sur les questions sociales et relatives au travail dans leur communauté.

Veuillez largement distribuer cette demande de candidatures pour bourse d’études.

La date limite de présentation des candidatures est le 1er juin 2018.

Veuillez lire le formulaire de demande pour connaître les critères d’admissibilité : www.congresdutravail.ca/bourse.

Mes sentiments de solidarité,

Le président,

Hassan Yussuff

If the shoe was on the other foot, yes, I may irritated having every moment of daily life photographed and documented. I would be furious if I found myself constantly harassed on the road by the paparazzi. However, it’s as these reasons I haven’t pursued an occupation which would put me in the limelight. Celebrities are famous because the paparazzi pays attention to them.Kim Kardashian plans to enrol adidas yeezy boost 350 on his upcoming tour this winter.

I liked the song but was unsure if Mariah was to be able to reclaim her throne. The smart thing about this song is actually it is really a club banger and system the era for club tracks. One more thing to note is that she teams on the top of Jermaine Dupri which musical match created in heaven. It’s like that basically about having thrilling it shows Mariah letting her hair down (something that everyone ought to be often would by now since her Fantasy came out in the nineties).
Even internet business make own personal rap or hip beats you may use software online without even having get anything to a computer.

Let me this kind of straight, Mister. Louis Vuitton Don: during an awards show, one where you aren’t even up for the awards in question, the awards end up being presented to your EXACT acts you feel are worthy in order for the ceremony in order to reach your oddly-selected, pompous and downright silly personal fantasies?Because her tapes were found to be so successful, there were already many established artists yeezy 700 adidas lining up to a whopping work with Minaj. Rhianna and adidas yeezy boost 350 were just a couple of the superstars who wanted a chunk of the actions.

Statement by CWA Canada President Martin O’Hanlon on a judge ordering Radio-Canada journalist Marie-Maude Denis to reveal her sources

“It’s frustrating that this sort of thing continues to happen, especially with the passage of federal legislation last year recognizing the right of journalists to protect their sources.
The media is not, nor should it ever be, an arm of the state. As journalists, we must fight any attempt by anyone, especially authorities, to interfere with freedom of the press.
It is vital for free speech and democracy that journalists guard the anonymity of their sources. If not, sources, including whistleblowers, will be far less likely to talk to journalists knowing that they could be identified and punished. The result? Canadians will be blocked from important information and stories about matters of vital public interest.
As a media union, we will speak out loudly to protect freedom of expression and the role of a free press as a pillar of democracy.
And we will support taking this case to the Supreme Court if necessary.”
