Tonight’s episode of The Members’ Voice opens with a solemn moment of silence and a heartfelt reflection on the life and legacy of Brother B‑Y Brian Harris — a true leader, a dedicated trade unionist, and a beloved family man whose impact will be felt for generations. We honour his memory, his service, and the example he set for all of us in the labour movement. We are joined by James Hoffe of IBEW Local 1555, who provides an in‑depth update on their ongoing strike and the issues at the heart of their fight. James shares the realities facing workers on the line, the solidarity they’ve received, and what comes next for the members of IBEW 1555. Our Nova Scotia Host, Matthew MacDonald, returns with the latest developments on the Long‑Term Care workers and the challenges and victories unfolding across the province. It’s an important night of reflection, solidarity, and standing together with workers across Atlantic Canada. 🎧 We encourage everyone to tune in and listen live. Your voice, your movement, your show — The Members’ Voice.
