| | Canadian Labour Congress Convention (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | This defeat for Labour, and victory for the neo-liberal agenda, has its analogy in Ontario where three years of sequential one-day general strikes (1995-98) in a dozen cities against the Mike Harris provincial Conservative regime were unceremoniously ended. |
 | | Labour’s retreat -- manifested most sharply in terms of concessions bargaining, the curtailment of union democracy and solidarity, and the shrinkage of union density – has resulted in stagnant wages, a declining standard of living, increased job insecurity, and growing union paralysis. |
 | | Its ongoing aim is to unite labour and social movement militants to resist labour concessions and social cutbacks, support struggles for union democracy, turn the unions into fighting organizations, advance the interests of working people, and oppose corporate profit and power. |
