National Aboriginal Day - June 21st
June 21st, National Aboriginal Day, is a time to re-affirm our Union’s commitment to solidarity with Aboriginal Peoples in the struggle to improve their social, economic and political conditions. At the same time, we honour and celebrate the achievements of the many Aboriginal, Inuit and Métis Brothers and Sisters in our union and their contributions to making our Union stronger and more inclusive.
I encourage you to become involved in events that may be taking place in your Locals on June 21st and to show your support and Solidarity for your Aboriginal, Inuit and MétiBrothers and Sisters.

| Edited by Canadian Labour Congress Researcher Teresa Healy, Ph.D., with contributions from 47 policy analysts and economists, The Harper Record documents in exhaustive detail the Conservative government’s performance over the last two-and-a-half years. “Contrary to the general perception that this has been a moderate government, this book reveals that it, in fact, has taken significant steps to transform Canada in a very short time. Harper’s very conservative vision has been advanced across a broad range of policies. It is a deeply troubling prelude of things to come,” says Healy. Similar to previous CCPA evaluations of previous governments, this publication evaluates the Harper track record through a progressive lens. The analysts find the Harper record falls woefully short when measured against the great challenges of our time: climate change, inequality and poverty, peace and stability, educating our children, protecting our health, and managing the economy. The Harper Record is available for free download from the CCPA website |
