Abstract:  This group was formed to organize and provide a voice for the jobless of Greater Vancouver. They are attempting to work on root causes of unemployment as well as the more immediate problems.
They are opposed to all layoffs, plant shutdowns, education and social service cutbacks, and wage controls. Among other things, they advocate increased public works programs, affirmative action plans to create equal employment opportunities for all and full unemployment benifits for all persons not working.
