Human Rights and Equality
Canadian labour’s strong belief that all workers have the collective right to bargain wages and working conditions is matched by our support for human rights and equality rights at home and around the world.
The Canadian Labour Congress and its affiliated unions are active in the workplace, in our organizations and with partner groups in this country and globally to demand human rights and equality rights for all.
Ready to Rise UP for Your Rights? Attend our Human Rights Conference - December 2010
Yes, we are taking this fight right to the government's door step. There's been a dangerous agenda at work in Ottawa, for nearly four years. The Conservative government has been steadily changing laws--changing the rules, dismantling Canada’s democratic traditions.
This is an activist conference, for workers who recognize and are determined to change what Conservative policies mean for aboriginal and racialized communities, for LGBT communities, for people living with disabilities and for women. This event is also for our allies who understand what the Conservative agenda has in store for communities who don't share their vision. This will be an important moment for those who want to help build a strong, diverse and inclusive labour movement and it's a chance to act together – politically and strategically.
