Goals / Remit
We are the largest labour organization in Canada, bringing together dozens of national and international unions, provincial and territorial federations of labour and community-based labour councils to represent 3.3 million workers.
For more than 50 years, we have provided research and policy leadership on issues that impact the everyday lives of all working people such as wages, workplace health and safety, pensions and retirement security, social and economic justice and equality, access to public healthcare and childcare.
We advocate in support of our policy goals in the courts and in Parliament, and through public education and political mobilization. Internationally, the CLC is the voice of Canadian workers at the United Nations through the International Labour Organization (the ILO).Main EU files targeted
The Canadian Labour Congress has been actively working with European union counterparts in lobbying for changes to aspects of the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement particularly regarding the protection of public services and the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) or investment court system (ICS).
