OFL convention coverage and related news
Union delegates from across Ontario were in Toronto for the week of Nov. 23 for the Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) convention. It’s held every two years to set policy and elect leaders. There were about 1,000 delegates this time. They agreed on an action plan and direction for the Ontario labour movement on good jobs, public services, rights, and many other issues. And they elected a new leadership team headed by president-elect Sid Ryan.
Through this multi-media site, you’ll find written, photo, and video coverage of the convention and related events. You can link to us on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and flickr. And there’s lots yet to post.
The OFL is an umbrella group for working people and their unions. We speak for 700,000 unionized workers in the fight for better working and living conditions.
