What is Worker Wednesdays?

Every last Wednesday of the month, workers and community allies gather virtually on zoom to mobilize and organize for worker justice in BC. Worker Wednesdays offers a space to find pathways to obtain worker-led demands and to take action for legislative change to ensure workers are protected.

We encourage everyone to participate in whatever way feels best to them, whether that's camera on or off, being a listener, or using the chat to share their thoughts.

What happened last Worker Wednesday?

• We heard from Ben Ger, organizer with the Laborers' International Union of North America and the Rent, Strike, Bargain campaign on the connection between the tenants' movement and labour movement
• We shared an important video and campaign from the BC Federation of Labour to reform the Workers' Compensation Board
• We continued to deepen our conversations around the connection between the climate and labour movements, with our Climate-Labour Coordinator sharing worker experiences from last year's heatwave, and inviting workers to partake in our climate focus groups
• Justice Delayed is Justice Denied! We shared updates and next steps with our Justice Delayed is Justice Denied campaign to reform the Employment Standards Branch
• We took action! Workers are rising across BC and ready to stand up and fight for their rights. Workers have been asking us how to organize, what to do, how to hit the ground - together with these workers we planned Days of Action to poster, speak to workers, canvass, and push for a better future for all workers! Stay tuned to hear more!
