  • 2003 Annual Report
    Labour Community Services of Toronto 2003 Annual Report Labour Community Services is a project of the Toronto and York Region Labour Council in partnership with the United Way of Greater Toronto Message from the President of the Board of Labour Community Services It was the best of times, it was the worst of times… The opening line from Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities could easily describe the reality of Toronto today. With dramatic changes of politics at Queen’s Park and City Hall, there is a new sense of optimism in the air. Finally, we can start to rebuild our city, its schools, and its social infrastructure that has been crumbling over the last number of years. Yet at the same time poverty, the lack of affordable housing, and the rise of precarious employment strip that optimism away for too many in our community. Family incomes have plummeted and inequality has increased. People of colour, newcomers to Canada and residents of Toronto’s inner suburbs are particularly hard hit. These challenges were front and centre in two recent reports. The United Way’s Poverty by Postal Code: The Geography of Neighbourhood Poverty, 1981-2001 charts the dramatic rise and intensification in the number of high-poverty neighbourhoods. The report points to the acute crisis affecting one in five Toronto families. The Community Social Planning Council’s Falling Fortunes: A Report on the Status of Young Families in Toronto makes the clear connection between diminished job opportunities and the growth of poverty. Both call out for action and increased resources.

  • Labour Day Program 2019
    PROGRAM ORGANIZE #LABOURDAY2019 EDUCATE RESIST HAPPY LABOUR DAY! On Monday, September 2, over 20,000 union members will take to the streets in the annual Labour Day Parade. The 2019 theme “Organize, Educate, Resist!” was chosen to bolster worker solidarity in the face of the Ford government’s austerity agenda and to ready unions for the fights ahead. The first fifteen months of this Ford government have confirmed what we predicted: that the Conservatives would wreak havoc across the entire province, stripping workers’ rights, cutting programs and undermining the integrity of our education system and health services. Their record shows us why Canadians cannot risk having the Conservatives take power at the federal level. Our unions are committed to fighting against these regressive measures in every way possible. We are committed to building inclusive workplaces and communities, and challenging the politics of hate. Unions in greater Toronto have been working together for justice since 1871, and we are proud of what our members do every day to benefit all Canadians. This year’s parade will include workers who are organizing in sectors driven by the digital economy, including Foodora delivery workers and Uber drivers. The parade’s lead union is International Union of Operating Engineers Local 793, celebrating its 100th anniversary. The Toronto Labour Day parade has been held by the Labour Council annually since 1872. Labour Day has been officially recognized on the first Monday in September since 1894. The Toronto & York Region Labour Council is a central labourr bodybody that combines the strength of local unions representing 200,000 women and menen whowho work in every sector of the economy.

  • 2002 Annual Report 353 and the International Association of Machinists, Lodge 235, All of the Toronto Star
    Message from the President of the Board of Labour Community Services Poverty, the lack of affordable housing, cuts to social services – clearly the needs in Toronto are greater than ever. Family incomes have plummeted and inequality has increased. Homelessness remains an urgent problem, seniors are struggling, and many working families have difficulty making ends meet. These challenges were front and centre at the June 2003 Toronto City Summit. The City Summit Alliance was formed to address the challenges identified by a wide spectrum of groups and individual activists: finance, infrastructure, education, immigration and the underlying health of our regional economy. This coalition of 45 civic leaders, including labour, has issued a bold call to action, Enough Talk: An Action Plan for the Toronto Region. The Action Plan will surely be used as a test to all politicians that claim to represent our city, whether they serve at the municipal, provincial or federal level. We need every one of them to sign on to a commitment to a fair deal for Canada’s largest urban centre. Labour Community Services also plays a vital role in meeting these challenges, both through its education programs and community services, as well as its partnership with the United Way. LCS volunteers and staff had a very active year in 2002. Labour campaign volunteers actively encouraged union locals and members to get involved during the 2002 United Way campaign. It is not easy to ask working people to give generously when they are struggling to defend their own jobs or their incomes. During the year, both our city and provincial employees were forced out on strike.

  • Cultural Labour and Canadian Cultural Policy
    COUNTING CANUCKS COUNTING CANUCKS: CULTURAL LABOUR AND CANADIAN CULTURAL POLICY By Amanda Coles, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Amanda Coles, September 2012 ii McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2012), Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Counting Canucks: cultural labour and Canadian cultural policy AUTHOR: Amanda Coles, B.A. (York University), M.A. (Ryerson University and York University) SUPERVISOR: Charlotte A.B. Yates NUMBER OF PAGES: xii, 180 iii Abstract My research examines the political role of unions, as the collective voice of Canadian cultural workers, in connection to the cultural policies that shape their memberships’ personal and professional lives. I use a labour-based analysis that foregrounds the interests and experiences of cultural workers in my case studies to understand how cultural policy shapes the quantity and quality of work in the independent film and television production sector. I examine the policy advocacy strategies of Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists; the Directors Guild of Canada; the Writers Guild of Canada; the Communication, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada; and the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees IATSE, as members of federal and provincial cultural policy networks. I argue that changes in cultural policy influence the level of participation and the political strategies of the unions and guilds in federal and provincial cultural policy networks. Shifts in organizational and political strategies affect the ways that unions articulate their interests as policy problems; this, in turn, affects the ways in which issues and problems are understood and acted upon by decision-makers in policy reforms.

  • Labour Struggles in the Canadian Communication Industry
    Convergence Bites Back: Labour Struggles in the Canadian Communication Industry Vincent Mosco Queen’s University Catherine McKercher Carleton University Abstract: This article examines the concept of labour convergence in the context of two significant labour struggles in the Canadian communication industry: the 2005 lockouts at Canada’s national public broadcaster, the Canadian Broad- casting Corporation (CBC), and at Canada’s second-largest telecommunications company, the Telus Corporation. It begins with a brief analysis of convergence as a technological and institutional process, specifically as it applies to commu- nication technology, the communication arena, and communication companies, and as a myth that contains utopian visions of universal connectedness. The article then describes how labour is deploying its own form of convergence, a form that conflicts with and sometimes “bites back” at the communication industry and its dream of friction-free capitalism. Résumé : Cet article examine le concept de convergence de la main-d’œuvre dans le contexte de deux conflits de travail importants dans l’industrie cana- dienne des communications : les lock-out de 2005 à la Société Radio-Canada, radiodiffuseur public national du Canada, et à Telus Corporation, deuxième plus grande compagnie de télécommunications au Canada. L’article commence par une brève analyse de la convergence en tant que processus technologique et institutionnel—dans la mesure où elle porte sur les technologies en communica- tions, le domaine des communications et les compagnies en communications— et en tant que mythe consistant en visions utopiques de connexité universelle. L’article décrit ensuite comment la main-d’œuvre syndiquée déploie sa propre forme de convergence, forme qui s’oppose à—et parfois agresse—l’industrie des communications et son rêve d’un capitalisme sans friction.
