TEMPORARY CO-CHAIR LISE LAREAU (CWA Local 30213): Okay, everybody, this is your 30-second warning. If you could get into the hall and sit down, we will begin in 30 seconds. The delegates took their seats . TEMPORARY CO-CHAIR LAREAU: Hello, everybody. We're about to get going. Bonjour. Buenas Dias. Welcome to Toronto. Bienvenue tout le monde. It's great to see you. Come on in and take your seats. There is a lot of business to do today. First, a little housekeeping while you are sitting down. Please turn off your cell phones or put them on vibrate. Do something that won’t make them ring. I am Lise Lareau, and I am President of the Host Local, the Canadian Media Guild, Local 30213. (Applause) Thank you. It’s nice to see you all again-- this time from up here, which is a lot better, I might say. I am proud to stand before you as a Temporary Co-Chair of this Convention. As some of you may know, my Local represents about 6,000 media workers across Canada. Nearly half of them work right across the street from where you are right now at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. This Convention probably has not been located so close to so many of its members at one time. So if you run into any CBC employees-- they are your colleagues, all of them-- out in the streets, please say hello. They are fellow CWA members. Now, I have the great pleasure to introduce you to the Mayor of my home city. There are three things you need to know about David Miller. He has been Mayor for nearly four years, and for awhile there was a lot of pressure in our city, just like in a lot of other North American cities, to contract out city services. You probably know the story in your own hometowns. Well, David Miller shut that talk down here in Toronto. He shut down the issue of contracting out city work. (Applause) And he continues to have a respectful relationship with the thousands of municipal employees here. Two, you may recall that two conventions ago I was here and I was speaking to you about the lockout at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, much of which took place in that park where we had our barbecue yesterday. While members of my local were locked out for nearly eight weeks the summer and fall of 2005, David Miller refused to be interviewed by the management team that were doing our work during that period. (Applause) And more than that, he was one of the first high profile guests on the morning radio show that our locked out workers did from a campus radio station, the Campus Lockout Show. He was one of the first big guests on that show, and that gave me a tremendous, tremendous boost. I know it had an impact on all our members, and that’s something you just never forget. Three, when David Miller was running for Mayor in 2003, he marched in the Labour Day Parade, which he’s done every year since then, by the way. That in itself is pretty good. But he also declared at that Labour Day Parade that every day should be labour day. (Applause) That’s more than pretty good, and we couldn’t agree more. 1 So I ask you to welcome a man who has always shown a true commitment to our values and respect for working people in this city, David Miller, the Mayor of Toronto. (Prolonged applause) HONORABLE DAVID MILLER (Mayor of Toronto): Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. I came here to welcome you, but it feels like you are welcoming me to my own city, so thank you very, very much. Welcome to Toronto. Bienvenue a Toronto, buenas dias, Compadres. Sisters and brothers, it’s my very great pleasure to welcome the Communications Workers of America to the City of Toronto, and I wish you much success in your deliberations over the next two days. We are very proud to be a city that supports the rights of working people to organize and that works cooperatively and positively with the labor movement to ensure the success of all families in the City of Toronto. (Applause) Lise mentioned my leaflet on Labour Day 2003, and I just want to tell a brief story about that because I think it speaks to the values of the people of Toronto and why the people of Toronto are proud to support labor and proud to welcome your Convention here. My leaflet said, “Every day is Labour Day.” And every day from Labour Day to the election, which was in November, one of my opponents waved the leaflet around and said, “See, you can’t elect David Miller,” and every single time he did that, I went up in the polls. (Applause) I think that speaks to the values of Toronto and Torontonians. People understand here that when the rights of working people to organize are protected, their rights are protected, and they understand here that when labour leads the way in ensuring that people can work with dignity and respect and wages that allow their families to live and work in dignity, that their rights are protected as well, which is what the labour movement has always been about to me. I do want to acknowledge that I understand the Communications Workers of America represent many, many sectors. I saw the nurses organizing outside. In Toronto, your members are predominantly in the media and communications. We are very proud of that sector of the City of Toronto. We are the national headquarters for the media-- the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Global, CTV, Rodgers, TSN, Sportsnet, The Post, The Star, The Sun, and radio stations that are numerous galore. And it’s very important to our city that we are a home of creativity for the media outlets, because we are a city that welcomes newcomers from around the world. More than 52 percent of Torontonians, including myself, were not born in this country. It's a great strength of our city. And the labor movement has been extremely supportive of ensuring that newcomers in this city and people from diverse backgrounds are truly welcomed in Toronto, and that is another value that I share with labor and I know I share with all of you.

    Labor Union Response to Diversity in Canada and the United States

    Labor Union Response to Diversity Labor Union Response to Diversity in Canada and the United States GERALD HUNT and DAVID RAYSIDE* Canadian and American research finds that organized labor’s engagement with race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation until recently has been largely exclusionist. The Canadian labor movement emerges as having been somewhat more responsive to equity issues, particularly gender and sexual orientation, and at an earlier stage than its U.S. counterpart. The American movement, however, did create limited room for African-American issues and unionization from early this century and now shows signs of broader engagement with diversity issues in general. The literature is strong in case studies pointing to exceptional situations involving minority militancy and union acceptance and in highlight- ing the role of activists inside and external to the labor movement. It suffers from a lack of large-scale analysis and comparison. Has organized labor been an ally or a foe for women and minority groups seeking equal opportunities and equitable treatment in the labor force and workplace? There is now a substantial body of literature focused on this question, and recent changes in union response to issues of diversity call out for a summary and assessment of this literature. This article considers scholarship on race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orien- tation in Canada and the United States.1 *The authors’ affiliations are, respectively, the School of Business and Economics, Nipissing Univer- sity, and the Department of Political Science, University of Toronto. This review benefited from the research assistance of Karen Murray, Ph.D. student at the University of British Columbia, the statistical guidance of Laine Ruus at the University of Toronto Reference Library, and the helpful commentary of Daniel Mitchell and three anonymous reviewers.

  • Joint Union–Management Workforce Development Model

    Joint Union–Management Workforce Development Model

    CHAPTER 9 Joint Union–Management Workforce Development Model DANIEL MARSCHALL Ellen Scully-Russ The George Washington University In their early synthesis of the features shared by joint training programs, Ferman, Hoyman and Cutcher-Gershenfeld (1990) argued that such programs, as they emerged from the industrial restructuring of the 1980s, represented a distinctive innovation in worker training and career development with the potential to become “a stable and significant domain” in labor–management relations. The authors described joint training programs as an emerging set of institutional arrangements that included large-scale, negotiated, and jointly administered trust funds providing technical training, personal development, and access to education for union members. Though there were many examples of joint union–manage- ment training activity prior to the appearance of the industrial joint training program model, earlier programs were narrowly focused on sin- gle-issue training or time-bounded training efforts. In contrast, the new model spanned many areas of training activity, covered divergent popu- lations of workers and managers, and incorporated service delivery strategies guided by a philosophy of worker involvement and jointly determined decision making. Among other research implications, the authors identified the classification of joint training activities as a chal- lenge for understanding the structural tendencies within these young organizations. Notably, the authors speculated that the emergence of these innovative joint

    Canada Picks up the Torch 1956-1962

    16 17 CHAPTER TWO CANADA PICKS UP THE TORCH 1956-1962 “Progress means nothing unless people come along with it of their own free will. Efficiency is merely another name for tyranny unless it is consciously achieved by the voluntary actions of groups of human beings. It is up to people like you to make certain that mankind retains responsibility for and control of his environment and does not let the world slide into a state of confusion merely for lack of thought or foresight.” – HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, 1962 The success at Oxford in 1956 did not appear, initially at least, to portend a second Conference. Indeed, the Oxford Conference trustees – the Council – met on November 23, 1956, to begin dismantling the body that had carried the day so well four months earlier. The minutes of that meeting, under the chairmanship of Sir Harold Hartley, record that the first order of business was the terms of reference “to supervise the final winding up of the Conference affairs by the end of 1956 if possible.” Trustees also resolved to “determine and to dispose of any surplus funds at the termination of the Conference.” The Finance Committee reported a balance of £12,458. 9s. 1d. at Barclays Bank. When presented with an estimate of nearly £4,000 to print 5,000 copies of the Conference Report (including “400 presentation copies to be signed by His Royal Highness”), it was agreed “in view of the surplus funds at the disposal of the trustees” to authorize a “first printing” of 6,000 copies, including 3,500 complimentary copies.
