Benefitting Canadian workers
During its 50-year history, the Canadian Labour Congress has helped to bring many benefits to working Canadians. These special benefits allow us to live and work in a country where our rights, jobs and health are protected.
Have you heard of Medicare, Old Age Pensions and safety laws? Thanks to the Canadian Labour Congress, and many dedicated and hardworking people from the labour movement over past years, these programs are in place for all Canadians. What does this mean to you? Right now it may not mean much, however when you finish school and are ready for your first job, it will. As a working Canadian, you’ll be entitled to many rights and benefits that ensure you are treated fairly and with respect. In Canada, we are very fortunate to have these benefits because they make our quality of life
much better.
On April 20, the Congress officially celebrated its 50th anniversary—a special occasion that Canada Post marked by issuing a single domestic rate (51˘) commemorative stamp. |
