Please read the following statement from Elizabeth May, MP for Saanich—Gulf Islands and Leader of the Green Party of Canada, recognising Labour Day:
“Happy Labour Day! The power of workers standing in solidarity is undeniable. Whether it’s paid family and sick leave, safer workplace conditions or pay equity, unions have led the charge for a fairer and more just society here in Canada. I stand with Teamsters and all workers exercising their collective bargaining rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Let us always remember that labour rights are human rights.”
