LET - Essentials for Inclusive Unions
Nov 2, 2024 (9:00am-4:00pm (Atlantic))
As activists in our unions, we often ask why members are not more involved. This workshop asks a different question: Who is involved and who isn't and what might be some reasons why? How might our unconscious biases contribute to this? How can we represent members in a way that invites those on the margins to get involved and to see the union as place where they want to make a difference?
SLS - Challenging racism in the workplace
Nov 3, 2024 (9:00am-12:00pm (Atlantic))
This workshop covers what racism looks like in the workplace, and your role as a steward in challenging it.
SLS - Taking on Privatization – 3 hours SLS - Growing our Mobilizing Power – 3 hours Global People Power: Building Worker Solidarity in a Global Economy – 3 hours
SLS - Taking on privatization
Nov 2, 2024 (9:00am-12:00pm (Atlantic))
Learn about different forms of privatization in CUPE workplaces, how it impacts our members, services, and the public, and what stewards can do about it.
SLS - Growing our mobilizing power
Nov 2, 2024 (1:00pm-4:00pm (Atlantic))
Stewards can play a key role when the union needs to mobilize our members – whether it’s to support the bargaining committee, or stop the employer’s attempt to contract out our work. Learn basic mobilization theory and explore how stewards can tackle workplace problems in ways that engage more members and build the union’s power.
Global People Power: Building worker solidarity in a global economy
Nov 3, 2024 (9:00am-12:00pm (Atlantic))
This workshop explains the role that capitalism plays in workers’ lives, and examines the links between local and global issues. We will explore how building solidarity with workers in other countries makes the labour movement stronger in Canada and around the world.
