REMINDER/Media Advisory: Labour Reps Discuss Election Strategy and Union Momentum
April 17 2024 - 1:00PM
The Canadian Labour Congress will convene representatives of
millions of workers from across Canada Thursday to discuss how they
will advance the rights of workers.
Bea Bruske, President of the Canadian Labour
Congress, will lead the Council’s discussion and make an
announcement about the Canadian Football League Players’
Association.
“Representatives of millions of workers will gather
in Ottawa this week ready to deliver a clear message to politicians
of every stripe: if you want our votes, you must respect and
enhance our rights. Not with pretty words, but concrete action,”
warned Bruske. “The labour movement is growing. We will be
releasing new polling showing how, more and more, Canadians are
behind us. People are looking to us to make it easier to join a
union and harder for employers to obstruct workers from
organizing.”
“Canadians understand – the best ticket to the
middle class is to have a union card in your back pocket.”
