Greetings, WGSCC Committee Members!

Forgive me, but I am unable to attend this afternoon’s meeting owing to a terribly urgent (and unanticipated) matter, which unfortunately draws my attention away from you good folks. Apologies. L

Note, too, that I request we table agenda item no. 2 (Status of Roundtables), which involves my connecting with possible Roundtable speakers, as so recommended by the WGSCC Roundtable Subcommittee. I can better report on these later in the week over our listserv.

As a reminder, the WGSCC Roundtable Subcommittee’s recommendations are as follows:

1. POVERTY AND THE FIGHT FOR A MATERIAL EXISTENCE (THE FIGHT FOR A BETTER LIFE)

• Deena Ladd: Workers’ Action Centre & FF15&F

• John Clarke: Ontario Coalition Against Poverty

• Victor Elkins: Hospital Employees’ Union (BC)

• Sean Smith: Toronto Airport Workers’ Council

2. BUILDING AN INCLUSIVE LABOUR MOVEMENT (SOLIDARITY ACROSS BOUNDARIES)

• Fred Hahn: CUPE Ontario

• Chris Ramsaroop: Justice for Migrant Workers

• Pam Palmater: Indigenous Rights Advocate/Author/Academic (Ryerson University)

• Bilan Arte: Canadian Labour Congress

• Jerry Woods: Past chair, MB Human Rights Commission; Indigenous labour rights activist

3. MAKING LABOUR A SOCIAL FORCE & POLITICAL LEADER (BUILDING A WORKING-CLASS ALTERNATIVE)

• Suzanne MacNeil: Halifax Labour Council

• Basia Sokal: Winnipeg Labour Council

• Alia Karim: FF15&F

• “Name”?: Iron & Earth (Alberta)

All my best!
