Join the Fight for a Stronger City

From local political involvement, to community services and a steady commitment to social justice, the Labour Council is deeply involved with the organization and advocacy on issues that are vital to working people throughout the region.

Why Join?

Working people, working together, to build a better community

The Toronto and York Region Labour Council is a central labour body that combines the strength of hundreds of local unions representing 205,000 working men and women and their families.

Working for Strong Cities

Decisions made by local governments help shape the kind of cities we live in. Municipalities are responsible a wide variety of services and programmes – from public transit to social services to the water we drink.

Annual Events

We organize the annual Labour Day Parade – the largest such parade in North America; Mayworks – the festival for working people and the arts; and the Day of Mourning event to highlight health and safety issues.

Services to Meet Members Needs

Through projects of the Labour Council, like Labour Community Services and the Labour Education Centre, we offer courses to union members which enable them to deal with the issues they face at work and in their day-to-day life.
