"RIGHT-TO-WORK" IS WRONG


Passage of so-called "right-to-work" legislation in Michigan, the birthplace of industrial unionism, has sent shockwaves across both sides of our border.  Conservative MPs are planning the same here, and Ontario Tory leader Tim Hudak has made it part of his election platform.  Canadians are about to experience an unprecedented level of aggression against the very foundations of collective bargaining.

We will soon be branding this anti-union offensive with a name that fits -- because what the elites mean by "right-to-work" is their right to have people working for poverty wages.  The entire labour movement is poised to take on this immediate threat.  The Labour Council will be launching a massive internal union organizing campaign on Saturday March 2nd.

More information and the full statement Right-to-Work can be found at www.labourcouncil.ca.

Please contact your Local Union office today to register for this event.
