Black Workers Matter

This month the CUPE Cast is discussing the topic, Black Workers Matter.  In this episode we will be covering everything from the Black Class Action Lawsuit, the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, the Black Sleeping Car Porters, and more. This is also an extra special episode where we are welcoming our brand new CUPE Cast co-host, Brianna Plummer and saying goodbye to CUPE Cast co-host Elise.  Links for show notes:  Black Sleeping Car Porters  https://humanrights.ca/story/sleeping-car-porters https://workershistorymuseum.ca/black-workers-in-canada-20th-century/ https://legionmagazine.com/en/tv-series-tells-story-of-canadas-black-sleeping-car-porters/ https://www.cbc.ca/radio/costofliving/market-bubbles-electric-cars-and-remembering-black-railway-porters-in-canada-1.5903986/black-railway-porters-and-their-decades-long-fight-for-fair-wages-and-a-safe-working-environment-1.5911448  Coalition of Black Trade Unions  https://www.cbtu.ca/ https://cupe.ca/yolanda-mcclean-acclaimed-third-vice-president-coalition-black-trade-unionists  NFB collection of films on Black history in Canada  https://www.nfb.ca/playlist/nfb_celebrates_black_history_month  UN International Decades  https://www.un.org/en/observances/international-decades  Video about UN Decade for People of African Descent  https://www.un.org/en/observances/decade-people-african-descent https://youtu.be/9edo0Qaq-ZI  Moments in Canadian History of Black Labour  https://psacunion.ca/moments-canadian-history-black-labour  Rabble Pushing Equity Foreward artcile  https://rabble.ca/labour/pushing-equity-forward-within-the-labour-movement/  CUPE Anti - Racism Strategy  https://cupe.ca/sites/cupe/files/anti-racism_strategy_en.pdf  CUPE Ontario AROAP document  https://cupe.on.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/AROAP-FINAL.pdf  CUPE Ontario AROAP Website https://cupe.on.ca/aroap/#:~:text=The%20CUPE%20Ontario%20Anti%2DRacism,Indigenous%20members%20in%20our%20union
