The Peel Regional Labour Council has several standing committees that meet regularly:
Inclusion and Equity Committee
The role of our committee is to uphold equity and inclusion. We will support our most vulnerable and marginalized in our Peel community through calls to action and unlearning. We want to nurture growth about topics of inclusion through guest speakers, conferences and action plans.
Political Action Committee
The Peel Regional Labour Council (PRLC)’s Political Action Committee is responsible for organizing political action and activism within Peel Region to advance the interest for working people. This could take the form of protests, strike support, speaker series, petitions, letters, conferences, social media campaigns or endorsing and supporting labour friendly candidates in local elections.
The Political Action Committee was reformed in October of 2020. It seeks every opportunity to build political power and capacity of the labour movement with all our Unions in Peel Region.
