When Worlds Collide: Implications of International Trade and Investment Agreements for Non Profit Social Services, a report prepared by Canadian Labour Congress Senior Economist Andrew Jackson and CCPA Research Associate Matt Sanger, says safeguards for the non-profit sector tend to apply only to sectors which do not include any for-profit actors. The Canadian Labour Congress Convention, held in Vancouver in mid May of last year, featured president Shirley Carr calling for militant action by Canada's trade unions against freer trade, against deregulation, against privatization of government-owned companies--really against any or all changes. In recent years the Steelworkers has also entered into strategic alliances with Germany's two-million-member IGMetal, Amicus; Great Britain's largest union; the Australian Workers Union (AWU); the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) of Australia; Sydicato Mineros, a Mexican miners' union; and with CNM-CUT, the Brazilian counterpart of the AFL-CIO and the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC). |
