A new CUPE research report shines a spotlight on the ways for-profit services harm Indigenous, Black and racialized workers and their communities. The Colour of Privatization looks at the origins and ongoing impacts of privatization, shares members’ experiences with contracting out, and outlines concrete ways to fight racial discrimination and strengthen public services.

“I get inspired by the issues with our band that I bring to CUPE,” says National Indigenous Council co-chair Brandice Blanchard. Learn how Blanchard connects union and community in this profile, part of a series sharing the stories of members of the National Indigenous Council and National Racial Justice Committee.
