Labour Movement: Tight Relationship

Congress President Dept: At the party's national convention in Vancouver on Saturday, the NDP leader credited the party's tight relationship with unions for the historic gains made in the May 2 election, according to CBC. Canadian Labour Congress president Ken Georgetti also talked to delegates about the importance of the NDP and how it should work with the labour movement to defend pensions and the NDP doesn't need to sever its historical ties to Canada's labour movement in order to broaden its appeal, party leader Jack Layton says. Layton said it makes little sense to change a relationship that was responsible for the party's founding 50 years ago and has been so integral to its success since. As reported in the news.
