Good Morning and Happy Pride Month! ✊🏳️‍🌈⚙️

Today members of the IAMAW District 14 Human Right

Today members of the IAMAW District 14 Human Rights Committee had the honour to bring the Northern Spirits Football team a donation from our Committee.

The Northern Spirits are Canada’s first Indigenous all-girls football team, I should add, tacklet football team!

Every game I have attended you do see the spirit of these girls, of this team! You can’t count the number of tackles, have seen the ambulance come at two different game, but these ladies still get out there, they are rough and tough and ready to show the world what they have!

The IAMAW District 14 Human Rights Committee was founded in 2023, and in September of 2023 the chair of the Committee Ashley Speer, 1722 RS and District 14 delegate wrote our Districts first Land Acknowledgement.

Land Acknowledgements are not just words they are a promise, they are read at the beginning of every meeting as a reminder to take action. Reconciliation is not just reading these out and remembering the atrocities, but taking action! Giving back to the indigenous communities, their arts, their sports, their children, and businesses, is a good start, but we can not stop here!

Our Human Rights Committee is also working on educating members on truth and reconciliation, without the knowledge of the past and present we can not continue to move forward into a brighter future together, in Union!

We call upon all Canadian Locals and Districts to take a stand and start supporting reconciliation in their communities, through education, reflection, and building relationships we can find new ways forward.

Every year on May 1 workers around the world unite

Every year on May 1 workers around the world unite to advocate for fair wages, better working conditions, labor rights, and human rights. Now more than ever workers have to stand together, communities and unions have to come together to ensure dignity, respect, and living wages for everyone.

Prior to and after the May Day March up and down Whyte Ave in Edmonton this evening we heard from public sector workers, healthcare workers, private sector workers, migrant workers, women advocacy workers, freedom fighters and activists, and one thing is clear, in order to move ahead in our fight we must be steadfast, for each other.

With inflation the affordability crisis is effecting all Canadians, in Alberta we are seeing the highest spike in interest rates, utilities, and food pricings. Workers and their families are struggling with these costs on top of their pre-existing struggles, whether that be equity in the workplace, staffing our hospitals and assistant living facilities, or migrant workers knowing and fighting for their rights in Canada.

We as Unions have to keep lines of communication open with our affiliates and labour councils, we educate and empower each other, we can work together for better futures, strong collective agreements, higher wages and benefits, workers rights, and above all dignity, safety, and respect for all workers.

May Day, or International Worker's Day is an important reminder every year that we are all workers, and together we have numbers, with solidarity we have power!

Happy International Workers Day, to all Canadians and all Workers World Wide!

April 28, National Day of Mourning, on this day we

April 28, National Day of Mourning, on this day we remember workers lost to illness and injury on the job. In 2023 alone 165 Alberta workers died on the job or due to work related illness of injury. These numbers are likely under reporter, and are much higher when you look across all of Canada and the United States. Workers health and safety needs to be put above profits!

Happy International Woman’s Day IAM Sisters! #inspireinclusion is the theme of this years IWD!

When women are inspired to be included, there is a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment. Women continue to face many challenges around inclusion, Let’s empower the women in our lives to feel included. When we include all, inspiration is spawned, passion is sparked, skills and ideas are not overlooked, and new perspectives and contributions are brought forth!

Let’s create environments where all women are valued and respected. Where all people can be heard! Let’s inspire each other by creating spaces in our homes, works, and society to all be included, to all be inspired, to collectively make an more inclusive world!

The group contacted organizer, Kyle Franzen, out of District 14, this was due to one of the employee’s previous histories working for Air Canada. Kevin Timms, of District 140 relayed the contact information to Kyle, and the process began.

A first agreement was bargained and ratified in early November, which established consistent pay raises and rights in the workplace. The new members will be part of Local Lodge 1722.

Kyle Franzen, “The IAM sets the example by bringing past experiences into a new workplace. Together, the issues that drove the group to organize was to tackle issues of wage inequality, work-life balance, and to seek structural stability. ‘United, we aimed for a more balanced and equitable future, grounded in our shared experiences.’ Drawing on our collective wisdom, we pave the way for positive change and contribute to a better work environment.”

This Daikin group is based out of Calgary, Alberta and performs HVAC supply and receiving duties to contractors in the area. Daikin is a global leader in the HVAC&R industry, with locations around the world.

They’re at it again, Council is considering giving your money over to profitable corporate landlords. On September 20th, City Council will be considering whether or not to offer a subsidy to convert downtown office space into residential units. This money gets us no share in the building or say in how the units are developed; we’re just expected to give money to corporations who already have it. This corporate welfare has got to stop and the money that is being spent by our city needs to be done in the benefit of working Edmontonians.

The current vacancy rate, which is roughly half of what Calgary’s was when they did something similar, is benefiting many non-profits and small businesses who are looking for affordable office space to rent. If these companies are allowed to rake in profits while rates are high they should also suffer the consequences when rates are low. Lower corporate profits are not the responsibility of working families.

While we agree that addressing safety issues downtown is an important goal and increasing the amount of people using the area is crucial in solving this, providing corporate welfare to profitable corporations is not the proper mechanism to use. The city owns office space that could be consolidated into Edmonton tower. If we are to be spending public money on bringing more people downtown it should be into the feasibility of transforming the city owned buildings where we can control the type of units created and ensure that they benefit working families.

The Confidence and Supply Agreement between the Liberal and New Democratic parties gives hope that universal Pharmacare may finally be on the horizon. But it needs to be done correctly, and action needs to start NOW. Canadians can't wait.

Now, more than ever, we must pressure the federal government to support a universal, single-payer public drug plan for all Canadians. Opinion polling has shown that nine in ten Albertans support national Pharmacare — we need to make sure that our government and local representatives hear this loud and clear.

Send an email to the Prime Minister, Health Minister and your local MP to let them know why it is important to you that they support national, universal Pharmacare.

Truth and Reconciliation Day is a day to remember

Truth and Reconciliation Day is a day to remember the hard truth of Canadas past, face it, and take action to do what we can to correct it going forward. District 14 and Local Lodge 1722 now have a Land Acknowledgement to be read and considered at all their future meetings. With this constant reminder we hope that as union members and community members that we can find ways to move towards gaining knowledge and understanding of Canadas past, by listening to courageous survivors, educators, and elders, by keeping engaged in Canada’s contemporary treatment of its indigenous peoples. We must remember, but we also must act!

Join District 14’s Human Rights Committee to contribute to our future actions!
