Opening Plenary // Plénière d’ouverture 10:00 ESB 2012 12:00 Labour and reconciliation

Moderator // Modératrice: Kendra Strauss (Simon Fraser University) Panelists // Panélistes: Gordon Christie (Professor, Peter A. Allard School of Law at the University of British Columbia) Shelley Saje Ricci (CUPE, Canadian Union of Public Employees; Executive, BC FED Indigenous Rep) Joulene Parent (ILWU, International Longshore Warehouse Union; Executive, BC FED Indigenous Rep) Jeannie Morgan (Assistant Professor of First Nations Studies and Labour Studies at Simon Fraser University)

The opening plenary will address the twin themes of reconciliation and the labour movement. The recent Protocol Agreement signed by the BC Federation of Labour and the First Nations Leadership council commits the parties to engage in dialogue and action. In the spirit of this year’s Congress theme, "Circles of Solidarity: Engaging Conversations About the Future of Workers and their Communities", the opening plenary will bring together voices from a variety of perspectives on what the Protocol might mean for labour and Indigenous workers and on the politics of reconciliation. Speakers are invited to reflect on themes such as Indigenous workers in the labour movement (today and historically), economic development and good jobs, education and the environment.

CIRA Keynote Address // Conférencier invité de L’ACRI 17:00 ANGU 098 18:30 Can Sectorial Bargaining Save the American Labor Movement // La négociation sectorielle peut-elle sauver le mouvement ouvrier américain? Nelson Lichtenstein Transformations, both global and local, in the structure of employment have rendered an expansion of collective bargaining problematic in many nations. In the U.S. an eviceration of the labor law in both the private sector and the public has crippled many unions. But at the state and municipal level, many legislatures and city councils have become increasingly active on the labor front, mandating not just higher wages for many workers in a given region or occupation, but an increasingly wide variety of social provisions paid for by either employer or government. Many trade unions and allied reformers have turned to the negotiation of such "sectorial" mandates as the road forward. Is this a viable future?
