In this episode, we get to pick renowned economist Jim Stanford’s brain about the state of the Canadian economy, what can be learned from other countries, and how unions fit in nationally and internationally. Switching to a local, community lens, we then chat with Antonio Trujillo Villon of Turning Leaf Support Services, a Winnipeg-based organization that provides support to people living with mental illness and intellectual challenges, about how unions can help foster change at home.

We were delighted to sit down with PSAC’s newly elected executive leadership team–National President, Sharon DeSousa and National Executive Vice-President, Alex Silas–and chat about telework, bargaining, breaking barriers and more. This episode was recorded on June 14, 2024.

In celebration of Pride season, we talked to Larry Rousseau, Executive Vice-President of the Canadian Labour Congress, and USJE RVP Shauna Ward about equity, equality and diversity in the Labour movement.
