CLC EXECUTIVE COUNCIL STATEMENT ON LABOUR COUNCILS

CLC district labour councils play an integral role in promoting and carrying out the programs and policies of the CLC The day-to-day operation of labour councils; along with the additional actions requested by the CLC or federations of labour, in most cases is undertaken by volunteer trade union activists. The Executive Council of the Canadian labour Congress recognizes the efforts labour councils undertake, and we wish to express our gratitude. We also recognize the challenges councils face. In order to rid ourselves of the right-wing corporate agenda in this country, tremendous effort must be made at all levels, particularly at the grass roots. Therefore, the Executive Council of the CLC calls on all locals, lodges and branches of CLC affiliates to take steps to affiliate and participate in the labour councils within their area
