The bigots with white supremacist & anti-immigrant “National Citizens Alliance” (NCA) are under the mistaken impression that Legions should open their doors to #Islamophobia & #racism.
These bigots aren’t welcome in #NovaScotia.

Airport Security Screeners who are members of @IAMAWCanada / @MachinistsUnion are lobbying for changes to an arbitrary & unfair Dispute Resolution Process that provides no right to appeal or right of unionized workers to union representation.

The “strategic alliance” agreement between Canadian Football League Players’ Association (@CFLPA) & the United Steelworkers (@Steelworkers / @SteelworkersCA), North America’s largest private sector #union, is quite a fascinating model.

We would also like to thank @KenUSW and the @SteelworkersCA / @MetallosCA for their support and guidance in finding a fair and respectful deal for our own members!
