2016 Photo Review
All Out for Democratic Renewal!
June
In this
issue, TML Daily
continues its 2016 photo review with events in the month of June.
Ontario injured workers set a fighting tone for the month with a mass
action that reiterated the demands of the working class that the
workers' compensation system must provide universal coverage for all
workers and meet the actual needs of injured workers. Workers
vigorously condemned the attempts of governments to implement
neo-liberal cuts to social programs on the backs of injured workers
increasing their suffering.
Federal public sector workers carried on their fight to defend public
services and their rights against demands for cuts and attacks on
workers' sick leave from the federal government. Workers rallied across
the country to affirm that they would not accept the Trudeau Liberals
continuing the anti-social demands of the previous government in
negotiations.
In Vancouver, CPC(M-L) launched its program leading up to the 150th
anniversary of Confederation in 2017 to emphasize the need for
democratic renewal of the political process and a modern constitution
enshrining an equal union between Canada, Quebec and the Indigenous
peoples.
At the end of June, people converged in Ottawa to protest the North
American Leaders' Summit and its aims to integrate Canada and Mexico
into the U.S. economy and military. Actions also brought forward the
people's solidarity with all the peoples of the Americas exploited by
U.S. and Canadian monopolies.

shows injured workers' determination to stand up
for their rights and the rights of all, in opposition to attempts by
governments to deprive them of their rights and just compensation.
