💙 We wore blue today to mark what would have be

💙 We wore blue today to mark what would have been the 40th birthday of Kim Novak, former President of UFCW 1518. 💙We'll always remember Kim's persistent and contagious enthusiasm and energy. She inspired not only members of her own local but also the labour movement and our entire UFCW family.Who could forget how Kim was the master of making videos in her car! Patrick Johnson gave it a hella good try today, by the way. She would have been proud of you, brother 💙We stand together with our fellow UFCW members at @ufcw1518 this day and always!#UFCW #UFCW1518 #UFCWCanada #UFCW247

We encourage UFCW Local 247 members to join us in

We encourage UFCW Local 247 members to join us in wearing blue tomorrow to mark the occasion of former UFCW 1518 president Kim Novak's birthday, May 7th. 💙Kim was a dear friend of UFCW Local 247, and we were heartbroken by her passing last year. As UFCW 1518 put it, "Kim gave everything she had to our union, and her birthday is a chance for us all to honour her legacy."If you are able to join us in wearing something blue, be sure to snap a photo and tag UFCW 1518 on social media. You can also send your photos to reception@ufcw1518.com!#UFCWCanada

Today, we gathered and marched with our friends on

Today, we gathered and marched with our friends on Red Dress Day.As we did so, we gained strength from each other, reaffirming our commitment not just to remembrance and reflection but also to solidarity and action to end the systems of violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people.We share here the 231 Calls for Justice coming out of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls: https://www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Calls_for_Justice.pdfA special thank you to UFCW Local 247 member Ashley Bareskinoff, with whom we marched today, for her continued activism.

The struggles of working people throughout history

The struggles of working people throughout history have always been deeply connected to the struggles of communities.On this International Workers' Day, we find inspiration in our UFCW 247 community:
