 | | Each labour committee had a full or part-time paid worker, usually called the "Executive Secretary." All these secretaries were formally hired by, and responsible to, their respective labour committee executives, so that Kaplanskys influence was somewhat constrained. |
 | | As he wrote of the Toronto group, "the Jewish Labour Committee did not own either the Committee or its Secretary." He was closely involved, however, in the selection of secretaries, and kept a tight rein on their activities. |
 | | In April, realizing that the moral legitimacy of these committees would be stronger if trade union rank-and-file members had a chance to participate in their founding, Kaplansky turned his Toronto provisional committee into a standing labour committee at a public meeting open to all interested union members. |
