Nov 19, 2025 - The Case for Sectoral Bargaining

When: Nov 19th, 7:30pm

This webinar examines whether expanding bargaining sector-wide can rebuild working-class power. Featuring Dr. Adam King and Dr. Sara Slinn.

In an era of multinational corporations, fissured workplaces, and gig economies, we ask if bargaining workplace by workplace is enough. Canadian unions, though resilient, remain fragmented, waging isolated battles. Elsewhere, sectoral bargaining sets robust standards across entire industries. This webinar examines what role expanding bargaining to the sector-wide level could play in rebuilding working-class power.

Nov 19, 2025 - What Canadians Should Learn From Zohran’s Win in NYC

When: Wednesday, November 19th, 6:30pm

This call isn't about celebrating an American win. It's about asking why the NDP, Ontario Liberals, and Toronto's progressive councillors refuse to learn from victories like Mamdani's, Obama 2008, AOC 2018, or Stacey Abrams' organizing blueprint. We'll connect the dots between what works elsewhere and what's broken here: the consultant class that profits from losing, the bias against learning from organizers of color, and the strategic laziness dressed up as "pragmatism."
