Greetings!
After my Sunday, April 8, 2018 appeal to all 13 identified prospective WGSCC roundtable participants, I am pleased to report the following, which is current as of this writing:
1. POVERTY AND THE FIGHT FOR A MATERIAL EXISTENCE (THE FIGHT FOR A BETTER LIFE)
DEENA LADD: Workers’ Action Centre Toronto, ON Status: ATTENDING
JOHN CLARKE: Ontario Coalition Against Poverty Toronto, ON Status: ATTENDING
VICTOR ELKINS: Hospital Employees Union Vancouver, BC Status: ATTENDING
SEAN SMITH: Toronto Airport Workers’ Council Toronto, ON Status: ATTENDING
2. BUILDING AN INCLUSIVE LABOUR MOVEMENT (SOLIDARITY ACROSS BOUNDARIES)
FRED HAHN: CUPE Ontario Toronto (Markham), ON Status: ATTENDING
CHRIS RAMSAROOP: Justice for Migrant Workers Toronto, ON Status: ATTENDING
PAM PALMATER: Indigenous Rights Advocate/Author/Academic (Ryerson University) Toronto, ON Status: TENTATIVELY ATTENDING; WILL CONFIRM ASAP
BILAN ARTE: Canadian Labour of Congress Ottawa, ON Status: TENTATIVELY ATTENDING; SEEKING APPROVAL FROM EXECUTIVE
JERRY WOODS: Past Chair, MB Human Rights Commission/Indigenous Labour Rights Activist Winnipeg, MB Status: NO REPLY
3. MAKING LABOUR A SOCIAL FORCE & POLITICAL LEADER (BUILDING A WORKING-CLASS ALTERNATIVE)
SUZANNE MacNEIL: President, Halifax-Dartmoth and District Labour Council Halifax, NS Status: TENTATIVELY ATTENDING; WILL CONFIRM ASAP
BASIA SOKAL: President, Winnipeg Labour Council Winnipeg, MB Status: ATTENDING
ALIA KARIM: Fight for $15 Movement Toronto, ON Status: ATTENDING
SCOTT CHRICTON: IBEW 424/Alberta Labour History Institute Board Edmonton, AB Status: ATTENDING
++++++++++
This has been a very fruitful appeal, which can be summarized as follows:
ATTENDING: 9 TENTATIVELY ATTENDING: 3 NO REPLY: 1 TOTAL: 13
It’s my recommendation that we can include all prospective roundtable participant names within the SSHRC application, save for Jerry Woods, who has yet to reply, unfortunately. To the latter, I will continue to seek out Jerry’s participation this week and moving forward. Alongside, Leslie Spillett would be a great addition to our conference — this, as discussed at the March 3, 2018 meeting of the WGSCC Committee. I will approach her as you all advise.
All my best for now!
