Report finds Canadian racialized workers less likely to be unionized, suggesting unions develop strategies to better organize and address racial equality.

A report from the Centre for Future Work reveals Black and racialized workers in Canada are less likely to be unionized compared to non-racialized workers, with only a quarter of racialized workers covered by a union contract. The disparity is especially prominent for racialized women. The report suggests Canadian unions should develop more effective strategies for organizing with racialized workers and address racial equality within their ranks. It recommends holding Intersectional Organizing Conferences at national and provincial levels to create coordinated strategies targeting low-wage sectors and promote equal representation for all workers.
