This week JFWNS member Tony Tracy spoke at the SEIU Local 2 rally for Out of the Cold shelter workers who were all terminated with only 30 minutes notice. These workers are on the front lines of the homeless crisis, and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.

Davis Day today marks 100 years since William Davis was killed by company police during a strike. We honour those who stood the gaff and sacrificed so much for labour and human rights. And we remain committed to better wages and worker protections, and ending scab labour in NS.

Today is the 100th anniversary of Davis Day✨

Today we to join in remembering William Davis, a coal miner tragically killed in 1925 during a strike for better working conditions and fair wages in New Waterford. His death ignited a crucial turning point in Nova Scotia’s labour movement.

“In an era of increasing corporate power, precarious employment, and attacks on collective bargaining rights, William Davis’s sacrifice resonates with contemporary struggles for workplace dignity and economic justice.”

Organizing a workers-first agenda to address the tariff crisis

Tariffs and other moves by US President Donald Trump are causing a lot of fear. Many of us don't know what Trump's actions-or the response from our own governments-will mean for our jobs, families, and communities.

Featuring:
CHRISTINE SAULNIER
Nova Scotia Director,
Canadian Centre
for Policy Alternatives

TONY TRACY
Activist & Organizer
Justice for Workers Nova Scotia

Join us for a Public Forum to learn more about tariffs and Trump's "trade war", the projected
impact of the tariffs, and what action we can take to ensure workers have essential protections regardless of our job or immigration status.
We'll talk about what we need from all levels of government, including: adequate weekly income and better access to Employment Insurance; a moratorium on rent hikes and evictions; a freeze on food prices; and an end to corporate profiteering.

Nova Scotians deserve a raise!
Tim houston said he would increase the minimum wage to $16.50 in two steps. That's nowhere near what is required. People are struggling to pay for essentials! People are struggling just to stay afloat! Houston must raise the minimum wage well past $16.50.
