Updated: Nov 15, 2024 12:27
What I am proudest of is that we were able to help these workers do what any workers can inherently do - come together and build worker power. The wins belong to the workers."
In part three of our Special Edition Education Series, we are joined on the Apple Box by the 891 Organizing team: Sano, Conor, and Brooke. Their organizing expertise has paved the way for 891 to sign historic term agreements in Kelowna and Vancouver Island, and continues to help more and more motion picture workers across the province gain access to the benefits that the Union offers.
