  • Faster Together Campaign – a National Volunteer- Based Initiative Designed to Encourage Up-Take of COVID-19 Vaccinations
    Press Release Cross Canada Coalition Launches Campaign to Encourage People to Get Vaccinated as Soon as They Can FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ottawa, ON, May 28, 2021 – Today marks the launch of the Faster Together campaign – a national volunteer- based initiative designed to encourage up-take of COVID-19 vaccinations. Within a short period of time, dozens of organizations representing business, industrial and educational sectors, labour unions, as well as individuals have come together to help develop a campaign, around the theme “Getting vaccinated can bring us back together, faster”. The message is simple: the faster we all do our part and get vaccinated, the faster we can all get back together. This is how we get our lives and businesses back to normal and the business community is eager to help assure Canadians“ that vaccines are safe and effective. We’ll all get to the finish line faster by working together. — Perrin Beatty, President and CEO, Canadian Chamber of Commerce The volunteer Task Group is co-chaired by Bruce Anderson of Abacus Data & spark*advocacy, and Hassan Yussuff, President of the Canadian Labour Congress, and welcomes any organization or individual that wants to help use the creative materials the campaign will make available to reach people and encourage vaccinations. Vaccination is an important tool in the fight against COVID-19. Innovative initiatives like “Faster Together” bring organizations together to help encourage Canadians to get vaccinated when it’s“ their turn, protecting themselves and their communities, and helping us get back together, faster. — The Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Health The latest research by Abacus Data shows that 21% of Canadians are hesitant about getting a COVID-19 vaccination.

The CFU was unable to reach financial autonomy on their own and with a perpetual shortage of dues and heavy reliance on outside support, the CFU affiliated with the larger Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) in 1981. The CFU’s community unionism was unique and suited for their members’ needs but complicated their relationship with the CLC’s vision of a labour movement dominated by business unionism. This thesis demonstrates the CFU’s importance to Canadian labour historiography and provides valuable lessons for those who want to organize in an increasingly neo-liberal dominant society.
