Giant Trump–Epstein Banner Unfurled Outside Windsor Castle Ahead of State Visit

  A giant photo of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein is unfurled outside Windsor Castle ahead of the president's state visit to the U.K. A colossal photograph of U.S. President Donald Trump alongside convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has been dramatically displayed on the lawn outside Windsor Castle, just hours before Trump’s arrival for his second state visit to the United Kingdom. The stunt was orchestrated by British protest group Everyone Hates Elon , which claims the 400-square-metre image — touted as the “world’s biggest Epstein photo” — was crowdfunded by donations from the public.

Postal Workers Union Files Unfair Labour Practice Complaint Over Canada Post Layoffs

 

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has filed an unfair labour practice complaint with the Canada Industrial Relations Board over the recent layoffs of striking employees by Canada Post. The union claims that the layoffs, which have occurred as the strike by over 55,000 workers approaches the two-week mark, are an "intimidation tactic" that violates the Canada Labour Code.

Canada Post has stated that the layoffs are temporary and necessary due to the significant impact of the strike on its operations. However, the union argues that this move is an attempt to undermine the strike and pressure workers into returning to work.

CUPW National Grievance Officer Carl Girouard stated, "These layoffs are a clear violation of the labour code and an attempt to intimidate our members. We are confident that the Canada Industrial Relations Board will see through this tactic and rule in our favour."

Canada Post spokeswoman Lisa Liu responded, "We have received the complaint and are reviewing it. We deny any violation of the labour code and maintain that the layoffs are temporary and necessary."

The strike, which began over wages and working conditions, has now reached a critical point with both sides urging for a resolution. The federal government has also stepped in, urging both parties to return to the negotiating table with a greater sense of urgency.

The outcome of this complaint could have significant implications for the ongoing labour dispute and the future of Canada Post's operations.
