The Canadian Foundation for Labour Rights (CFLR) recently launched Constitutional
Labour Rights in Canada: Farm Workers and the Fraser Case, a new book on labour rights in Canada. The book is a collection of 11 essays related to the Supreme Court of Canada April 2011 decision in Ontario (Attorney General v Fraser), which dealt with the scope of constitutional protection of collective bargaining.
"This book makes the connection between labour rights and human rights. It brings together the perspectives of a group of prominent individuals who share the view that labour rights and independent unions are essential for democratic and just societies.” - CFLR Board member, James Clancy
Contributors to the book include trade unionists, union-side lawyers, and labour law academics. Find out more here.
The CCPA’s bold vision and creative solutions help us imagine better futures for all. Its efforts to build bridges between labour, industry, and civil society and mentor young activists lay the foundation for realizing those provocative futures. I consider my support for the CCPA an investment in a better future for British Columbia.
