We are the political and social voice of working people in Winnipeg, on Treaty 1 Territory.
President, Melissa Dvorak, on the impact of COVID-19 on Winnipeg’s Labour Movement:
“Having a Labour Council is especially important during these unprecedented times. COVID has impacted everyone in our city. It has changed the way we work, socialize, and the ways we come together as community. The WLC is a place where labour can get together - to share experiences, ideas, and how we, as a Council can help one another to keep connected.”
Our mission is to be a strong political and social voice of working people in Winnipeg. We were founded in 1894 and played a pivotal role in building Winnipeg into the great city it is today!
“The Winnipeg Labour Council lobbies for, and supports strategies to create a city where no one is left behind - a safe and vibrant city where there is a strong sense of community, a feeling of fairness, and a place where citizens are proud to be.”
— Melissa Dvorak, WLC President
