When: Friday September 25th, 6 to 9pm

Do you or your union have old objects from labour's past kicking around your basement, attic, closet, or union office?

They could be labour banners, charters, pictures, books, pamphlets, newspapers, buttons, pins, mugs, T-shirts - anything that helps to tell the story of workers in this city.

It's time to dig them out and show them off. So dig them out and contact us at cheron@yorku.ca. We'll arrange to display them on the night of the celebration.

Aug 15, 2026 - How to Organize your Workplace

When: August 15-16

Having problems at work and are not sure what to do? Have you heard about unions and want to know how to get started? Do you lack the confidence to talk to your coworkers about forming a union? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then the How to Organize Your Workplace course is for you!

Over two days participants will learn what it takes to go from zero organization at work to a functioning committee of coworkers that can take on the boss and win! Together we will learn and practice the ideas, methods, and skills necessary to build power at work. The course will also feature a general discussion of unions: strengths and weaknesses, potentials and limits, and why organizing at work should be a top priority for those who want a better world.

Registration deadline: August 8.
