Preferred term

Committee for Cleaners' Rights  

Definition

  • In the 1980s, the Committee for Cleaners' Rights mobilized unions, community groups, and activists to pressure the government of Ontario to introduce labor legislation to help secure job security for cleaners and improve their prospects for joining a union. The committee met two ministers of labor in the Liberal Party's government of Ontario to argue for the importance of introducing a clause in the provincial Labor Code that would extend “successor rights”to cleaners.
