It was a weekend to share, to heal, to celebrate, and to resist.

More than 200 delegates met for Unifor’s annual Black, Indigenous and Workers of Colour Conference in Port Elgin, Ont. from Sept. 26 to 28. The conference focused on the theme of “Rooted in resistance: healing, justice and solidarity.”

“Solidarity is incomplete if it does not reflect the realities and experiences in racialized workers – workers who have too often carried a dual burden of economic inequalities and discrimination,” said Unifor Director of Equity and Racial Justice Tricia Wilson.
