Connecting Worker's Struggles and Building Solidarity

We will analyze how the current immigration policy brings in more temporary workers and less permanent residents; and how this policy is a form of contracting out that impacts not only temporary migrant workers, but all workers.

We will examine current organizing principles and practices and how they support the building of a broad-based workers movement that includes all workers.

We will explore new ways of organizing by identifying how union members can practice true solidarity with precarious, migrant, and workers without jobs in the workplace and in the community.

Special Cultural Performance and Discussion of: Future Folk

Come out this May Day, as we join with workers around the world in celebration of the militant tradition of May 1st, as a day to oppose the exploitation of workers.  Hard-won wages, benefits, and social services continue to erode as Canada joins other imperialist countries in forcing increased labour flexibility in the name of 'free-trade' and the capitalist neo-liberal agenda. 

We are also continuing the courageous struggle of immigrant and migrant workers across North America against increasingly repressive and racisit immigration controls, as we join together to assert our dignity and affirm international solidarity.

Performances and speakers, followed by DJ and dancing!

Dedicated to the memory and revolutionary legacy of Hari P. Sharma.
