Toronto is the financial hub of Canada and a center of gentrification. Most jobs there are precarious and exploitative, the cost of living is astronomical, and the average working person is atomized–made to feel like they must compete with their fellow worker for a living, instead of collaborating. This makes Toronto a challenging place for working people.
As a solidarity union we welcome workers from any and all backgrounds and industries to be members. Our branch even supports workers and organizing campaigns beyond the city limits of Toronto. Through the Canadian Regional Organizing Committee we are connected to all IWW members in Canada. We also encourage all workers in other unions to hold a membership with us too, because through education, training, direct action and solidarity, we can be with you in the workplace. Give your fellow worker a fighting chance, join the IWW and let’s get organized!
