How to resist your landlord
By Bruno Dobrusin The tenant movement across Canada is growing, with unions and resistance groups popping up in every major city in the country. The commodification of land and housing and the growing economic power of the real estate industry have pushed tenants to the brink, facing displacement and ever-increasing rents. The landlord class has been supported by a political class that calls for greater supply, while deregulating housing.
It’s time for a national rent freeze
“I was laid off from my job at the factory and I don’t know if I’ll be able to pay rent.” Calls like this are flooding into the tenant union I organize with, echoing a growing sense that there’s nowhere left to turn for help. Long before the re-election of Donald Trump as President of the United States, tenants across Canada had been struggling to keep a roof over their heads. Now, his tariff war is making the housing crisis even more dire.
Get on the Bus
Chile’s private bus companies tried to repress the working-class vote. It backfired. On December 19, 2021, the day of the Chilean presidential runoff, rumors spread about a corporate plan to sway the count in favor of the right-wing candidate, José Antonio Kast.
From Earth Day to May Day: Why decent work is vital in the fight for a green economy
Let’s face it: there can be no green economy without decent work and strong public services. If we want to fight pollution and greenwashing, workers must be empowered to speak out without fear of reprisals. If employees aren’t safe at work, communities that depend on those services are not safe, either. If we want to reduce, reuse, and build a circular, service- and caring-based economy, those doing the work must have good wages and sustainable jobs.
Electrification is here to stay - and so are the workers
The climate crisis has pushed governments and decision-makers to accelerate the electrification of public transport in cities around the world.
Rewriting the future of work
TORONTO - Much has been written about the “future of work,” and much of it makes for gloomy reading. Study after study predicts that automation will upend entire industries and leave millions unemployed. A 2013 paper by two Oxford professors even suggested that machines could replace 47 percent of jobs in the United States within “a decade or two.” Conclusions like these sustain the narrative that the future will inevitably be jobless.
Reescribir el futuro del trabajo
TORONTO – Mucho se ha escrito sobre el “futuro del trabajo”, y en gran parte con perspectivas sombrías. Una seguidilla de estudios predice que la automatización cambiará a sectores enteros y dejará en el paro a millones de personas. Un artículo escrito en el 2013 por dos profesores de Oxford incluso sugirió que las máquinas reemplazarían el 47 % de los empleos en los Estados Unidos dentro de “una o dos décadas”.

Reescrevendo o futuro do trabalho
Muito já se escreveu sobre o "futuro do trabalho", e boa parte disso resulta em uma leitura sombria. Um por um, estudos preveem que a automação vai subverter setores econômicos inteiros e deixar milhões de pessoas desempregadas. Um estudo de 2013 de dois professores de Oxford chega a sugerir que as máquinas poderão substituir 47% dos empregos nos Estados Unidos dentro de "uma ou duas décadas".
Rewriting the Future of Work | by Bruno Dobrusin
Three common assumptions skew economists' forecasts of automation’s impact on employment. Addressing each is essential to protect workers’ rights and change the fatalistic storyline of the prevailing narrative. TORONTO – Much has been written about the “future of work,” and much of it makes for gloomy reading. Study after study predicts that automation will upend entire industries and leave millions unemployed.

Women have had enough. "Nosotras paramos! Ni una menos!" ("We strike! Not one woman less!") became the rallying chants across Argentina in October 2016, when women across unions, social movements and individually participated in a women's strike. The women's movement had been growing over the last decade, but no one imagined that a national women's strike was possible.
