"This decade has been brutal for workers, with the COVID-19 crisis, soaring costs, and relentless workplace challenges like chronic understaffing, climate change, and technological disruption. These aren't just headlines—they're the harsh, daily realities workers face. It's time for Canadian leaders to step up—not tomorrow, but today—to protect workers' lives, support their families, and secure the future of our communities. Canada's unions have the solutions, and we're ready to lead the change." — Bea Bruske, CLC President
