MEDIA ADVISORY: Labour Reps Discuss Election Strategy and Union Momentum
April 16 2024 - 12:53PM
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.”
