How Indigenous AI is, and can be, created to create community. The LabourStart Report about union events. And singing "Voice of the Earth" featuring Mi'kmaq singer Emma Stevens.
Here with his report about union events is Labor Start correspondent Derek Blackadder.
I don't know what to say about this, except that it made me proud to see the speed and the vigor with which unions responded.
I do know what to say about the racist display itself, but that would be both off-topic and not fit to be heard by any
Media coverage of the International Trade Union Confederation's reaction to the proposed restriction on the right to strike in federally regulated workplaces that the Gritzer pitching was a big one as well.
It's a bit odd to see the extent to which the ITUCs and the global union federations get respect from the mainstream media in Canada in ways that the domestic movement doesn't.
And we carried about 200 items from Canadian unions on the same nasty subject.
I hope you're all paying attention, even if you aren't in a workplace to which the Canada Labour Code applies, because this is an idea that is soon going to be replicated by the provinces.

Other stories our volunteers found and posted were about the 100 days long strike at the Bank of Canada, signs that CUPE may be joining ONA, that's the Ontario Nurses Association, in challenging the denial of healthcare workers' right to strike, and how the Fishers' Food and Allied Workers' Union in Newfoundland and Labrador is reacting to the possible creation of a snow crab fishery based on the French islands of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon.
This week's international story of note, I can't really call it my favorite, came from Honduras where employers have been handed a carte blanche to attack the labor movement.
Since the most recent election, which saw a right-wing president and his supporters elected, Over 500 union leaders have been sacked and blacklisted, and violence is increasingly a response by employers to any organizing efforts.
Over on Labor Start's Working Women pages, stories from Canada included coverage of IM Union.
IM Union? What used to be the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, when they changed their name, they really should have put out a notification of how they'd like us to pronounce it.
Their new name, IAM Union, they had its International Women and Young Workers Conference this month.
Also on that page is coverage and reviews of Sisters of 78, the play now on at the Theatre Aquarius in Hamilton.
Among the Canadian items appearing on our health and safety page in Newswire this week were the welcome if tardy news that the BC construction crane industry will be receiving more attention over ongoing safety problems.
Frightening stats about the violence faced by health care workers in Alberta include The same experience by library workers in Ontario and by teachers in Nova Scotia.
Pop over to our French language version of the health and safety page and you'll see more stories about attacks on public facing workers in schools, retail and government services by members of the public in Quebec who are frustrated by the effects of cuts to services or affected by the lack of mental health supports or or who just think that a gas station attendant is somehow more responsible for rising fuel prices than is Trump and his war.
