Siobhan Vipond, Executive Vice-President of the Canadian Labour Congress, joins Left East to West ahead of the labour federation's policy convention, which opens on May 11 in Winnipeg.
Siobhan talks about the shifting demands in representing workers as Canadians took hits from the pandemic recession and inflation -- and now Trump 2.0. With an economic attack from outside and 1.5 million jobless workers inside Canada, Siobhan talks about the renewed focus on job creation within unions, and how it can help defeat the far-right. She gives some insights on the emerging discussion about how sectoral bargaining can be developed to bring the protection of union membership to more workers.
PLUS: Nikki updates us on the BC Conservative leadership race. And Tom wonders if social democracy -- in Canada, anyway -- has a new populist focus on our experience as consumers.
