NDP stands with postal workers fighting for better working conditions « Canada’s NDP

Canada’s NDP leader Jagmeet Singh issued the following statement:

“New Democrats stand in full solidarity with over 55,000 postal workers who are on strike, fighting for every Canada Post job to be a good job – a job that helps you build a good life and a dignified retirement.

The NDP is clear, there should be no government intervention in collective bargaining. Liberals and Conservatives have used their power to side with the big bosses by imposing back-to-work orders to undercut workers’ right to bargain for fair wages, retirement security and better, safer working conditions.

Most recently, Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government buckled in the face of big bosses and weaseled its way to trample on union rights by forcing binding arbitration on workers at British Columbia and Montreal ports fighting for a fair deal.

My message to Justin Trudeau is clear: stay out of this. Let the workers bargain their contract. It’s their right.

Justin Trudeau has let workers down again and again. But make no mistake: Conservatives and Pierre Poilievre are no friends to workers. They duck and hide when workers need support. Poilievre voted for back-to-work orders eight times. In a fight, he’s in the CEOs’ corner every time, ready to hurt working people.

The NDP will always have workers’ backs—we are the workers’ party. We will fight tooth and nail to defend their right to free and fair collective bargaining. Their fight is our fight.”
