Who We Are
The St. John’s and District Labour Council represents Unions through delegates who are chosen by their Unions. The St. John’s and District Labour Council covers an area that encompasses the Avalon Peninsula of the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The Council’s delegates represent the majority of the Unions of the Avalon Peninsula of our Province. We advocate for social justice, inclusiveness and fairness in our communities and organizations.
We are chartered by the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) which represents 3.5 million unionized workers in Canada. The Labour Council mission is to bring together our delegates from unions within the province of Newfoundland and Labrador with the mission to bring social justice to our Province at the municipal level.
Our delegates come together monthly to plan and execute activities that are designed to support justice, inclusiveness and fairness in our organizations and in our communities though political action, community awareness events and interaction with our affiliate labour organizations.
