Aboriginal Workers
The Canadian Labour Congress presently channels it's work on Aboriginal Rights in the two main areas;
- the promotion of Aboriginal Rights and anti-Racism in respect to Aboriginal workers;
- and working with Aboriginal workers to strengthen their voices and presence in the Canadian labour movement.
In addition, the Canadian Labour Congress does policy and advocacy work in respect to the impact of government social and economic policies on Aboriginal communities.
The Congress is committed to strengthen the voices of Aboriginal workers through caucuses, forums, conferences and workshops. The Aboriginal Rights Resource Tool Kit is a resource aid to assist unions and the staff in working toward that goal.
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.
