The fight for good jobs : Lutter pour protéger les bons emplois

Today, just as fifty years ago when the Ontario Federation of Labour was founded, most of us spend much of our lives in the workplace. It is here that our labour - whether in manufacturing, public sector or private service sector - is central to the creation of products, their distribution, administration and thereby the creation of wealth. What happens in the workplace is not only important to the economy, it is also where our knowledge and activity result in an income - making working conditions, benefits and compensation levels crucial. It is here, as well, where we feel the direct impact of employer restructuring, downsizing, closures, layoffs, cutbacks and demands for a "flexible" work force.
