(FRENCH) Monday, January 19, 2026, is the day we honour Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a visionary leader who taught us that a struggle for racial justice and the struggle for workers’ rights are inseparable. Dr. King stood with workers because he believed in the dignity of labour, the power of collective action, and the moral obligation to speak out against injustice.
As union members, his legacy calls us to lead with courage, to challenge inequity wherever it appears, and to build workplaces where everyone, especially Black and Racialized workers, can thrive without fear or discrimination. On this day, we recommit to Dr. King’s belief that “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.” BUT only when people of conscience pull it together and remind us that our solidarity is the greatest tool for change.
May his words inspire us to stand united, uplift one another, and continue the work of building together a truly just, equitable, and more inclusive union.
