    for Solidarity and Mutual Support

    Purpose and Objectives

     

    The primary purpose of this coalition is to enhance the collective strength of our unions and provide mutual support to our members. Our objectives include:

    • Solidarity: Strengthening our collective voice and promoting unity among our members.
    • Mutual Support: Providing assistance to each other’s members in times of need, such as job actions, disputes, or emergencies.
    • Information Sharing: Sharing knowledge, research, and best practices to improve our respective unions’ strategies and effectiveness.
    • Advocacy: Collaborating on advocacy efforts to influence labour policies, workplace conditions, and legislation.

    Structure

    Leadership Committee: Continue with the practice of a committee composed of leaders from each union to oversee the coalition’s activities and decision-making.

    Regular Meetings: Continue with scheduled meetings, both in person and virtually, to discuss ongoing projects, strategies, and concerns.

    Working Groups: Establishing working groups, if required, focused on specific issues, such as labour rights, health and safety, or outreach, to foster collaboration and expertise sharing.
