Weekend Video: Building a National Solidarity Coalition

5/27/2017

Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) hosted a panel discussion during the Convention of the Canadian Labour Congress. The panelists discussed their experiences working with various solidarity coalitions and the need for a national solidarity network that can bridge the divide between labour and social movements. How can a solidarity coalition be used to build support for struggles for social, environmental and economic justice?

Moderated by Mike Palecek – National President, Canadian Union of Postal Workers. Presentations by:

  • Suzanne MacNeil: President, Halifax-Dartmouth & District Labour Council, Solidarity Halifax
  • Bilan Arte: Leap Manifesto
  • Patti Dalton: President, London & District Labour Council, London Common Front
  • Paul Finch: Secretary-Treasurer, BC Government and Service Employees’ Union, Operation Solidarity

 

This forum follows two calls by CUPW for the formation of a national Solidarity Coalition:

  • Why our postal struggle shows the need for a cross-country solidarity
  • Bill C-27 shows the need for a Solidarity Coalition
