Canada’s Unions Launch Bold Platform as Federal Election Called

“Workers Together” plan challenges parties to tackle trade threats, strengthen public health care and address mounting economic pressures. 

With a Sunday election call sending voters to the polls on April 28, Canada’s unions are challenging all parties to put working families first. The Workers Together platform, Building a Better Future for Working People, was launched on March 26th in St. John’s, Newfoundland, by Bea Bruske, President of the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), alongside Jessica McCormick, President of the Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Labour. 

The platform provides a clear blueprint for the next government at a time when Canadians face mounting pressures from all sides. 

“This isn’t just another election – it’s a crucial choice about who will support Canadian workers in these turbulent times,” said Bruske. “Workers and their families are caught between aggressive U.S. trade threats, corporate price gouging, and increasingly strained health care and public services. The next government must be ready to take bold action from day one.”
