The Fight for $15 movement has been a defining feature of the political landscape in the US and, increasingly, in Canada. While the movement has generated unprecedented unity between union and non-union workers, it has also provoked important debates about how we win workers' rights, while building working-class power for the struggles that lie ahead. Join us for this dinner and discussion.



Speakers: 

Brynne Sinclair-Waters: Participant in the April 1 Chicago solidarity actions that saw joint strike action between fast food workers and teachers, with solidarity from students, bakers, airport workers and more. 

Pam Frache: Report on the April 15 Pan-Canadian Day of Action in the Fight for $15 & Fairness

Discussion at 7:00 pm

Wrap-up at 9:30 pm
