Solidarity tonight with our members at Local 5454.
Air traffic controllers always stepping up.
You do us proud!
@CATCA5454
U.S. FAA issues nationwide ground stop for all flights due to βextraordinary circumstancesβ and safety.
As more information becomes available, it will be important to understand the circumstances behind this decision. Until then, it would be premature to speculate.
Weβre thinking of our NATCA brothers and sisters and preparing to help absorb the impact however we can. It will be a long night for Canadian controllers as well.

Γ mesure que de nouvelles informations seront disponibles, il sera important de comprendre les circonstances qui ont menΓ© Γ cette dΓ©cision. Dβici lΓ , il serait prΓ©maturΓ© de spΓ©culer.
Nos pensΓ©es accompagnent nos confrΓ¨res et consΕurs de la NATCA, et nous nous prΓ©parons Γ contribuer, dans la mesure du possible, Γ gΓ©rer les rΓ©percussions de cette situation. La nuit sβannonce longue pour les contrΓ΄leurs aΓ©riens canadiens Γ©galement.

This is a big win for Unifor at the end of a difficult week for many of its members.
800 workers at Amazon's YVR2 fulfilment centre in Delta, B.C. have just won a union contract, a first for Amazon workers anywhere in North America.

In just the 1st 6 mos of this year, Amazon profit reached $93B (U.S.). That's $62K US (or $86K Cdn) for EVERY AMAZON WORKER. A full-time Canadian worker made less than 1/3 that much in the same 6 mos. A union contract is essential to fix that gross imbalance. Well done Unifor! π₯³
History!
Because of the courage of workers and a union that would not stop fighting with them.
Solidarity friends. Letβs keep organizing.

280 Canadian workers face temporary layoffs at Sherritt, including 134 #Unifor members. Workers should not have to pay the price for U.S. sanctions. Ottawa must step up to protect Canadian jobs. #canlab #cdnpoli buff.ly/Y7TJWce

Economist Jim Stanford on Stellantis-Roshel deal: "This is the biggest single casualty of Donald Trump's trade war against Canada."

Today, on #RemembranceDay, Unifor honours those who served and remembers those who never returned home. Working-class families have often been asked to give the most. We stand with veterans, Canadian Armed Forces members and their families.

ββThe reality is that Roshel gave Stellantis a way out, and they took it. We need our govβt to do more, to step up & say there are lots of options. We can stop this sale. We can continue to make sure this is part of the auto footprint in Canada,β @Lanampayne tells @CTV_PowerPlay.

βWe felt that there was a path forward. We got into bargaining, and then all of a sudden, we're in a situation where the plant is potentially being sold and now sold to Roshel,β says Unifor President @Lanampayne on the sale of Stellantisβ Brampton plant.
To set the record straight.
On Nov 4: it was Unifor who requested a meeting of all 4 parties. Not the federal government.
Cc @MSidhuLiberal you must have missed this.

The sale the Brampton Stellantis plant marks one of the biggest impacts yet of the trade war on Canada, with nearly 3000 jobs likely gone Brampton
Ottawa saying the company still has commitments to the workers after taking federal cash, UNIFOR calls it a betrayal, Stellantis says it will return the plant to productive industrial use and the buyer, Roschel, is promising a Centre of Excellence for advanced manufacturing, that aligns with the Carney governments objectives of increasing domestic military production #cdnpoli

'Betrayed our members': Unifor president reacts to Stellantis sale of assembly plant ctvnews.ca/toronto/article/bβ¦
We have been holding the line.
We are going to keep holding the line.
Solidarity my friends.

βStellantis has betrayed our members with an underhanded deal to sell the plant and walk away from its commitments to these workers. Allowing the sale to move forward is a critical failure of the national auto strategy,β says @Lanampayne on the sale of the Brampton Assembly Plant.

I wonβt do this on a Sunday & spare bad actors a proper news cycle.
A betrayal of commitments to π¨π¦s, supply chain & all the workers from beginning to end deserves a proper airing.
To those not living up to covenants to those picking the bones, this isnβt the fight you want.
π§΅1000s of Canadian autoworkers employed by Stellantis are feeling betrayed, angry, frustrated and wondering what happened to all those political promises to save their jobs and key industries during this trade war. /1
Keeping the Brampton plant ready to build cars was the only job our governments had.Β
Preventing the sale by rezoning the property, and putting conditions on procurement bids, is easy enough.
But it didnβt happen. /12
