Ed @broadbent & @AmnestyNow’s Ketty Nivyabandi starts the morning w/ a discussion on what it takes to realize economic & social rights in Canada.
“The realization of civil & political rights isn’t possible if there is no foundation to economic & social rights.” #Broadbent2022
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
Steelworkers from across BC met w/ Minister Harry Bains to discuss amendments to strengthening paid sick leave for all workers in BC. The @BCNDP govt took action today to make amendments to B.C.’s Employment Standards Act.
