Canadian Labour Congress Launches New Webinar Series: The Issues and You

January 9, 2026

The Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) is launching a new webinar series in 2026, The Issues and You, designed to deepen workers’ understanding of the issues shaping our lives, our unions, and the broader labour movement.

This series will explore key challenges facing working people – from the fights unions are leading today, to global trends affecting workers, to what the future holds for the labour movement. Each session will feature CLC experts and leaders sharing insights and analysis on the issues that matter most to workers.

The first webinar in the series will focus on the ongoing retirement security crisis.

The Issues and You: The Retirement Security Crisis Today
Wednesday, January 21, 2026
1:00 PM – 2:00 PM ET

Participants will hear from Chris Roberts, National Director of the CLC’s Social and Economic Policy Department, and the CLC’s in-house expert on pensions and retirement security. The webinar will examine why retirement insecurity remains a major issue for workers, even a decade after the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) enhancement, and what it means for workers today.

This webinar will be delivered in English, with simultaneous interpretation in French.
