Target: U.S. Congress, Department of Labor, Walmart, Air Canada, and major multinational corporations
Goal: We urge policymakers and corporate leaders to take immediate action to ensure fair labor practices, corporate accountability, and economic policies that protect workers and consumers.
As consumers and citizens, we are concerned by the ongoing labor strike at Air Canada, the pricing strategies of major retailers like Walmart, and the economic instability caused by tariffs and speculation in critical resources like lithium. These issues are interconnected: they reflect a system where workers’ rights are undervalued, corporate profits are prioritized, and economic policies are shaped by the interests of the few rather than the many.
Flight attendants at Air Canada are striking for fair wages and better working conditions, a struggle mirrored by countless workers worldwide. Meanwhile, Walmart’s deep discounts raise questions about supply chain practices and the true cost of low prices. Tariffs and trade wars threaten to increase costs for working families, while tech investment hype and resource speculation drive volatility and inequality.
We call on lawmakers and corporate leaders to address these systemic issues by implementing policies that protect workers, ensure fair pricing, and promote transparency and accountability in global markets.
