UNION EDUCATION COURSE: Racism and Our Labour Movement In this two-day course, members will review key moments and often forgotten histories of racial exclusion in Canada’s labour movement. Members will explore contemporary manifestations of anti-Black racism and racism in the labour market and our labour movement. We will reflect on how the persistence of such racism impacts racialized workers and their communities and also undermines our collective capacity to advance social democracy, social justice and economic liberation of the working class. To win for workers we must build solidarity through racial justice. Participants will discuss how racialized trade unionists can organize and mobilize to advance racial justice and how white/non-racialized trade unionists can support, be allies and collaborators in efforts for racial justice. Participants will be connected to important groups and initiatives advancing racial justice at various levels and make an action plan for themselves on advancing the work of racial justice in their own life, in their union, and in society at large. Racism and Our Labour Movement is an Introductory (Basic) course with no pre-requisite.September 22-23 | Sunday + Monday | 9:30am – 4:30pmLocation: PSAC London Regional Office – 244 Pall Mall StreetRegistration Link: https://ontario.psac.com/courses/london-ro-racism-and-our-labour-movement-in-person-sept-22-23-2024/Registration Deadline: August 30, 2024
