St. John’s, NL – The Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Labour (NLFL) today released its analysis of party responses to its 2025 Election Questionnaire, providing workers with a critical tool to inform their vote.

“This is a critical opportunity to build a fairer, more just Newfoundland and Labrador where no one is left behind. Workers need to know where the parties stand on key issues and see concrete commitments in black and white,” said McCormick. “We encourage every worker to review this document, ask candidates the tough questions about the issues that matter most to them, talk to their family, friends, and co-workers, and get out to vote.” 

The Federation submitted identical questionnaires to the Progressive Conservative, Liberal, and New Democratic parties, seeking commitments on a wide range of issues vital to workers, including: workers’ rights, health and safety, tariffs, cost of living, local benefits, jobs, protecting public services, economic justice, and climate transition. 

The analysis released today offers a brief, overarching review of the written responses received from each party. It is intended as a starting point for workers to understand where each party stands. The full response from each party is also included in the document. 

“This election is about choosing a better future, one where working people in Newfoundland and Labrador can thrive, not just survive,” said McCormick. “We need to elect candidates that work for workers, and we will hold whoever forms the next government accountable for the promises they make.”
