The CLC Canadian Council voted to postpone the CLC convention which was scheduled for May 4-8, 2020 in Vancouver. It was also decided that the CLC’s current officers will remain in their respective positions until the convention can be re-scheduled. Team Unite fully supports this decision. We want to commend and sincerely thank all workers who are continuing to do their jobs under increasingly challenging circumstances. We are appreciative of all that you do to keep our communities safe and strong.
It’s time to unite Canada’s labour movement to build a stronger future for all workers and families. Elect Team Unite at the 2021 Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) Convention. Support Bea Bruske for CLC President, Lily Chang for CLC Secretary-Treasurer, and Siobhan Vipond for CLC Executive Vice-President.
Join the campaign. Let’s build the future together.
Greetings and Solidarity from Team Unite this Labour Day.
This year has been challenging in many ways. Now, more than ever, we need a strong, effective and united labour movement in Canada.
COVID-19 has highlighted the vital role all workers play in our economy and our society. Yet, as workers and their families are struggling with the impact of COVID-19 in their workplaces, schools and communities, they are also being let down and, in many cases attacked, by their governments.
At a time when we should all be working together to find a better way through the economic and social crisis brought on by this pandemic, funding for vital public services is being slashed, worker rights are under legislative attacks, and already precarious private sector jobs are increasingly at risk.
It is time for our movement to call for investment in people over profit, and to stand up to anti-worker employers and governments at every turn.
When workers stand together in solidarity, we win. We influence government action, engage workers to fight back, and bring positive change to our workplaces and communities. We win when we support each other in our fights at the bargaining table and on the picket line. And we win when we ensure all voices are heard.
Let’s celebrate this Labour Day with pride and a renewed commitment to the labour movement.
Happy Labour Day from Team Unite.
