Unions and the City: Negotiating Urban Change


June 01, 2017


This panel invites Toronto labour leadership to respond to a comparative book on labour strategy and political action in Toronto and New York City, titled Unions and the City: Negotiating Urban Change (Cornell ILR Press, Spring 2017). The book discusses how local unions in four sectors (hospitality, film, green energy and child care) seek to advance organizing and collective bargaining goals through the reregulation of their respective sectors. Union strategy is evaluated according to whether it succeeds in achieving narrow trade union goals while also addressing broader class demands and social justice criteria.

Roundtable Discussion Moderated by Ian MacDonald. Panelists:
* Sarah Ryan (CUPE National)
* Rick Ciccarelli (Labour Education Centre)
* Lis Pimentel (UNITE HERE Local 75)
* John Cartwright (Toronto and York Region Labour Council)
* Bob Hall (IATSE Local 873)

Time: 8:30AM - 10:15AM
Venue: Ted Rogers School of Management, 2-166
Location: 55 Dundas Street West Toronto, ON
