The Importance of an International Black Labor Federation

Uven: As a racial group, black workers have been oppressed as workers and as people. This dual form of oppression is really what emphasizes that need to organize for all rights and all liberation. In African and Caribbean countries, including Toronto, there are labor federations and labor unions but a lot of them are reformists," he says. Uven also advocates for an international black labor federation in order to wield the collective power of black workers globally.
