Martha believes effective and result-based collective bargaining is a necessity for our members and our communities. We must use our connections and places where we have the influence to improve our conditions of work and help our communities thrive.
Martha knows racial justice for workers must be addressed at the bargaining table. There must be a commitment from employers to hire, retain, and support racialized individuals. This can be achieved with strong collective agreement language.

Martha understands political action and collective bargaining are inherently connected and must continue to be addressed together in any strategic plan. To achieve success at the bargaining table, we need to ensure we elect a party that recognizes the importance of funding education – and not a party that passes legislation to cap wage increases at 1%.

Martha recognizes we need to mobilize our members and educate them on the connection between activism and bargaining. We must reach out and strengthen the relationship between our members and the communities they live in and work.
