Out of the Impasse? Debating Class Politics and Canadian Unions

The Leo Panitch School is proud to present the launch of Out of the Impasse? Debating Class Politics and Canadian Unions. It represents the latest in the long running series of pamphlets published by the Socialist Project. It features four pieces of striking analysis, all drawing from Rosenfeld’s decades of experience as an autoworker, educator, and socialist activist. 

“These interventions remind us that worker power depends not only on shop-floor solidarity, but on building a capacity for independent collective political action by unions and workers…” 

All are invited to join as we celebrate this new entry into the debates on  Canadian socialism and working class politics! 

When - Friday July 17- doors open: 6:30pm, talk starts 7pm, social to follow

Where - College Street United Church - 502 Bathurst Street, Toronto ON

How - Advance registration required. Free - donations accepted with gratitude.

Those in attendance are warmly invited to gather afterwards to socialize and celebrate Herman’s contribution to the socialist movement. Complementary refreshments will be on offer. Beverages, merch, and literature will be available with all proceeds going to the LPSSE’s educational programming!
