For anyone looking for something to fill their ears over this summer break, the Canadaland Commons podcast has been releasing a series about the history of labour in Canada. The series is well researched and produced, with quick episodes that give a lot of context for the modern state of work in our country and the gains and losses made by the labour movement.
The first episode is available here: Work #1 – The War on Workers.
CUPE476 stands in support of the rights of LGTBQIA2S+ people to access equitable employment, public services, and health care.

We encourage our members to check out the following resources this pride month:
