In 2019, the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) held its first-ever Indigenous Lobby Day on Parliament Hill, which brought together 129 participants from 21 different union affiliates to meet with 78 Members of Parliament and Senators in Ottawa. Settler and Indigenous activists stood together to call for action on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and Two-Spirit people, access to clean drinking water on reserves, honouring residential school children and Indigenous education, and a National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. While there has been some movement on these priorities, there is so much more to be done.
It’s well established that unionized workers earn better wages and have better benefits than their non-union counterparts.

This year’s theme is Canada’s Unions: Lifting Everyone Up.
Today, about a third of Canada’s workers belong to unions and what we’ve won has improved the lives of all workers. Imagine what we could win if half or more of us were unionized? Labour Day 2023 is our chance to encourage everyone to imagine that future. Regardless of which part of the labour movement you’re in, we all share a vision of a future where everyone has access to the care they need, when they need it, affordable housing and childcare, a future where we tackle the climate crisis head-on by creating good, sustainable jobs in communities across Canada.
So, let’s organize together, and lift everyone up.
