Strengthening Workers’ Voice in the Future of Work

The Centre for Future Work’s PowerShare project has published a major new report on the economic and social benefits of workers’ voice in both theory and practice in Canada.

It identifies several reasons we need stronger mechanisms of voice in workplaces – but shows that voice mechanisms have eroded in recent years, especially in the private sector.

The report features a number of important initiatives across Canada including a feature titled “Voice in Action: Artists and Cultural Workers Do It Themselves” on VALU CO-OP.

The report lists eight concrete strategies for strengthening workers’ voice into the future.
