Recognizing the importance and influence of workers and labour, NDP and Liberal candidates for the upcoming federal election requested time on the September monthly meeting agenda of the Grey Bruce Labour Council.

After hearing from the candidates, Labour Council President, Kevin Smith, noted that the “The Grey Bruce Labour Council, the voice of workers and labour in our region for over sixty years, was pleased to have Chris Stephen and Allan Thompson speak to council delegates. Council delegates represent thousands of workers in our region and candidates attending the Council meeting demonstrates a level of respect for workers”.

Labour Council VP, Dave Trumble, “Although the Grey Bruce Labour Council is not exercising its right to endorse any candidate, it is clear that the best electoral choice for our region is that which fully funds and expands public services, protects and improves pensions, improves labour law and health and safety law, looks after the environment, ensures equity/fairness/inclusivity, protects the rights to unionize and bargain collectively and generally takes its lead from what workers need as compared to what corporations demand”.
