Democracy is the Essence of Our Movement

The Toronto & York Region Labour Council has long played a role in the broader labour movement. From convening the first national union gathering, to organizing on key issues to CLC conventions, we have a strong tradition that values the role of local activism informing and powering national campaigns.
