Canada’s unions commend recognition of Palestinian statehood, call for further action in Gaza
Ottawa – August 1, 2025 – In an open letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney, Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) President Bea Bruske applauds the government’s decision to recognize Palestinian statehood — a precondition to the start of a real peace process. Representing over three million workers, the CLC says Canada must be a leader in advancing the principles of international law, human dignity and peace. Canada’s unions also support the calls to action by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC). UFCW is proudly affiliated to the CLC.
