Deadline to apply October 6, 2024 Labour College, the Canadian Labour Congress’ (CLC) flagship trade union leadership development program, is a unique learning opportunity for union leaders and active members to learn new skills and take on the challenges that face the labour movement. It provides university level courses on issues related to work and the rights of workers in Canada. It gives graduates the necessary tools to be effective leaders in their union, their labour council, and the wider labour movement for the benefit of all workers.

We felt it necessary to respond to Mr. Ettinger’s misleading "Dear Colleague" letter released this week. Mr. Ettinger is either misinformed or doesn't fully grasp the situation; this crisis can be attributed to decisions made by his management group to undermine our rights and seize greater control.

Friday August 2 2024
Today – Friday August 2 – the Union filed two “Notices of Dispute” with the Minister of Labour, Steven MacKinnon. The National Executive Board did not take this decision lightly. The parties have been bargaining since November, but little progress has been made on the Union's key issues. The Employer has given us no sign it will drop any of its major rollbacks or demands for a widening two-tier workforce. Additionally, the employer has not yet made a wage offer.
Thursday July 25 2024
The Ontario Superior Court of Justice has dismissed CUPW’s constitutional challenge against the 2018 back-to-work legislation that ended rotating strikes and imposed interest arbitration on members of our two largest bargaining units – Urban Operations and Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers.
Wednesday July 17 2024
We stand in solidarity with you as you bravely fight for your livelihoods and the future of Ontario and our communities. Fair pay, permanent jobs, reasonable workloads, and decent, affordable pensions should be standard for all LCBO workers.
Friday July 5 2024
Since bargaining began in November 2023, the Negotiators have met with the Employer more than 100 times. Since then, we have had many open and lengthy discussions on several issues. It must be said: There has been little progress on our major demands.
Thursday July 4 2024
I am so happy to tell you my news: When our son Basti was 3 years and 10 months old, he received a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Global Developmental Delay (GDD). The beginning years presented major obstacles.

Support Postal Banking - Download and Sign the Petition

Canada needs a postal bank. Thousands of rural towns and villages in our country do not have a bank, but many of them have a post office that could provide financial services. As well, nearly two million Canadians desperately need an alternative to payday lenders. A postal bank could be that alternative. Download and sign the petition urging the Government of Canada to instruct Canada Post to add postal banking, with a mandate for financial inclusion.
