The labour movement refers to the collective efforts of working people to organize, advocate, and push for fair treatment, better working conditions, and stronger protections on the job—both through their employers and through government labour laws.
Workers joining forces to fight for fairness, safety, and real rights—this is the labour movement.
The East Kootenay District Labour Council brings together unions from across the region—from Golden to Creston. We support workers in every community and take part in local, provincial, national, and international issues that affect working people. We’re proudly affiliated with the BC Federation of Labour and the Canadian Labour Congress.
