We bring into focus the individual faces and unique stories of migrant workers, "non-status" people, and racialized working-class immigrants, who are often left out of mainstream media.

The Urban Worker Forum

Location
What do a writer, roofer, retail worker, shop owner, office cleaner and web designer all have in common? We are all Urban Workers.
Urban workers are contract workers, freelancers, part time workers and the self-employed. What we share in common is we have no pension, no benefits, no fall back.
Let's change that. The Urban Worker Forum is the first step. Come on out to discuss our experiences, strengths and struggles, and to look for solutions that will lead to change.
Hosted by Andrew Cash, musician/journalist/urban worker.
Lunch, coffee and tea provided. Social to follow. To RSVP, please email: cash@cashfortoronto.ca or call 416-539-8660
Connecting Worker’s Struggles and Building Solidarity
Location
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.
