August 5, 2021 - Whether it’s lobbying for paid sick days, standing against racism, bargaining good contracts, or supporting a co-worker who is struggling to cope, USW members stand in solidarity with workers and equity-seeking groups. The Union has introduced a series of 3 online one-day workshops built around the theme of “Solidarity in Hard Times”. The next two workshops are:
September 15 – A Fair and Equitable Recovery
November 10 – Solidarity Looks Like This
This series of online events will give members the opportunity to meet virtually and exchange ideas on how labour activists can support one another and their communities.
Below are the details for the second workshop, A Fair and Equitable Recovery:
Date: Wednesday, September 15, 2021
Time: 11:00 am to 5:30 pm Eastern Time
Where: Online (a link to access conference platform will be provided after registration)
