The Struggle Continues: CUPW Walking Tour (Mayworks, Toronto)

The walk takes participants by downtown Toronto sites associated with CUPW’s history, from its beginnings to present day.

The walking tour passes by important Canadian Union Postal Workers (CUPW) workplaces in Canada and other spaces of gatherings including the site of the original convention of union delegates who approved the formation of the union. Held on Mother’s Day as CUPW brought us maternity and parental leave.

We met in front of the Royal York Hotel, at the intersection of Front St. and York St., Toronto.

Sponsored by Toronto Workers History Project (TWHP) and Mayworks Festival of Working People and the Arts.
