Connecting with Communities as Working Citizens While our victories come in many forms, our goals are always the same — to get results for working people and demonstrate what can be accomplished when we work together in solidarity. If you are not organized but want to join a union, the Fraser Valley Labour Council can put you in touch with a union organizer in your area. For the labour movement, working people are more than just union members. They are working citizens who understand that the political decisions made at the legislature in Victoria, City Hall, or by the local Town Council, have a direct connection to the bargaining table and the workplace. They know that beyond what their unions can negotiate in their collective agreements, political decisions can either improve or have a negative effect on their quality of life and the standard of living enjoyed by their families and their communities. Without the important work of grassroots, local leaders, and activists, social progress would be impossible. The Fraser Valley Labour Council works together with community-based organizations that share these values, goals and concerns of working people and their families. The Fraser Valley Labour Council is focused on improving our communities through: • Educating union activists through providing and supporting labour education courses • Lobbying on workers' issues & rights • Campaigning to highlight working families' issues • Organizing more union members • Building stronger communities | |||||
