I'm glad CUPE and the flight attendants seem to have a workable contract pending.
I'm worried though, because through this whole strike, a very significant moment in the Canadian labour movement, I did not read about one politician standing up for workers. Jagmeet and Charlie Angus have left a huge hole. We need proworker representation in government, ideally as the official opposition and someday leading government. We need to organize!
Can the #NDP renew themselves or do we need a new party for workers? What do we do next progressive #Canada?
