Labour Council activities provide opportunities to share information about issues that affect your union, your members, and your community. By identifying issues, we can build awareness, support, and collective action.
When locals participate on a regular basis at the Labour Council, other participating locals are made aware of the issues well before any conflict, strike, or lock-out takes place. This insures community and union support can be given quickly in an effort to resolve problems.
