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.
