NDP statement on Labour Day « Canada’s NDP

September 1, 2025 at 1:00 am  Federal, Politics

NDP Leader Don Davies issued the following statement:

This Labour Day takes place at a critical time for Canada’s workers, who are facing an unprecedented attack on their jobs and on their communities from Donald Trump’s tariffs.

New Democrats will continue to press Prime Minister Mark Carney to put workers first. That includes investing in strong public services and in the workers who deliver them. It includes building more of what we need here – from affordable homes to community infrastructure – and creating good-paying union jobs in the process. And it means tackling the cost-of-living crisis, including by expanding pharmacare to more provinces so that more Canadians can benefit.

On Labour Day we are especially reminding workers that Liberal and Conservative governments have consistently violated their Charter rights by interfering in the collective bargaining process. New Democrats will always stand up for full freedom of association, strong unions and free collective bargaining.

Unions built this country. New Democrats know that a strong labour movement means strong communities and a strong economy.

This Labour Day, New Democrats are proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Canadian workers. The fight for Canadian workers is more important than ever.
