Tonight on The Members’ Voice, hosts Nick London, Chris, and Wes take a deep dive into some of the biggest issues impacting workers, families, and communities across Canada. We'll be joined by Michael Hurley, President of the CUPE Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU-CUPE), for an important discussion on the state of healthcare in Ontario. We'll talk about staffing shortages, ongoing pressures facing frontline healthcare workers, concerns about patient care, and what governments need to do to protect and strengthen Canada's public healthcare system. We'll also examine the latest developments surrounding the Federal Budget and what it means for working people. From affordability challenges and public services to investments that impact workers and their families, we'll break down what labour needs to know and where the labour movement believes more action is required. The program will also feature a look at the PEI Federation of Labour Convention, where delegates from across Prince Edward Island came together to discuss workplace issues, labour priorities, organizing efforts, and the challenges facing workers in Atlantic Canada. In addition, we'll continue our coverage of Bill C-39, exploring what the legislation means for workers and why labour organizations across the country are paying close attention to its potential impacts. We'll share perspectives from labour leaders and discuss why this issue remains an important topic of conversation within the labour movement. As always, we'll bring you the latest labour news, worker advocacy stories, and discussions that matter to union members from coast to coast. Join us live tonight for another informative edition of The Members’ Voice, where workers' voices are heard, labour issues are explored, and the conversations that shape our movement continue.

Tonight on The Members’ Voice, hosts Nick London and Wes Wills continue their examination of Bill C-39 and what it could mean for workers, unions, and communities across Canada.

With growing discussion surrounding the legislation, the program will feature several perspectives and updates to help viewers better understand the potential impact on working people. The show will include commentary and analysis from Unifor National President Lana Payne, along with another important update from Mark Hancock, offering insight into issues affecting workers across the country.

Also on tonight's agenda, we'll shine a spotlight on CUPE 4386 and discuss the ongoing fight for fairness in the healthcare sector. In recognition of Health Care Provider Week, CUPE 5430 is calling on members and supporters to take action with a Day of Action at the Saskatchewan Legislature on October 28, as healthcare workers continue their push for a fair collective agreement.

From national labour issues to frontline healthcare advocacy, tonight's program is packed with important conversations and updates from across the labour movement. Join Nick London and Wes Wills for another informative edition of The Members’ Voice, bringing workers' stories, union news, and labour issues to the forefront.

Tonight on The Members’ Voice, we bring viewers a full slate of important updates from across the labour movement in Atlantic Canada. We begin with the ACORN New Brunswick Press Conference, highlighting the voices of tenants, advocates, and community organizers pushing for stronger protections and meaningful change. We then turn to today’s Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 4386 media release, where workers at the Corner Brook Civic Centre continue their fight for fair wages and respect on the job. Members have voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action, citing low pay and rising living costs, and are now in a legal strike position as conciliation efforts continue. We’re also joined by Ann Marie Danch, Regional Vice President for CUPE Nova Scotia (Central Area), who shares insight on current issues facing CUPE members across the province. To close the show, we revisit the October 15, 2026 rally, where CUPE members and supporters gathered to raise their voices for fairness, solidarity, and the rights of workers throughout the region. All this and more on tonight’s episode of The Members’ Voice.
