Abstract: |
ALWAYS THE ORGANIZER, WINNIE NG, DIRECTOR OF THE Canadian Labour Congress Ontario Region, introduced us to Roger Kishi and Jenny Ahn during this year’s CLC convention in Vancouver. They had just helped formally launch the Asian Canadian Labour Alliance, and were both very excited. “Our Times should write about ACLA,” said Ng, and we thought so, too, but we wanted to hear from the activists in their own voices. The following is based on several hours of discussions Our Times’s editor, Lorraine Endicott, hosted with six members of ACLA’s B.C. and Ontario chapters. We wanted to get a personal as well as a political sense of the workers (who come from six different unions): what their background was; where they worked; how they got involved in their unions; why they become involved with the Asian-Canadian Labour Alliance — and why they think it is important. |
