The Greater Toronto Workers Assembly was an attempt to create a working class institution that addressed the uncertainty of its time period.
It formed in October of 2009 with the goal of creating and maintaining an organization based on the common class interests of unionized workers, non-unionized workers, the unemployed, people in temporary and part-time jobs and other forms of precarious employment, the poor, and student and community activists. Their work was an outlet for socialists, anarchists and the left to work together on common struggles, and build a common anti-capitalist political movement.
The first Assembly happened in October 2009. The Workers’ Assembly dissolved in 2015. This banner was made by artist Carole Condé.
